1o was fluorinated following general procedure A described for compound 3a, using benzene as solvent. Due to the volatility of the product, the yield was determined by 1H NMR analysis of the crude product using CH2Br2 (0.2 mmol, 14 uL) as the internal standard (36% NMR yield of 3o). Pure analytical sample was isolated by additional preparative TLC using hexanes/ethyl acetate as eluent (86% ee). The ee value was determined by HPLC analysis on a Chiralcel AS-H column (2% isopropanol in hexanes, 0.5 mL/min) with retention time of 14.1 min (major) and 20.1 min (minor). Absolute stereochemistry was assigned based on the X-ray crystallographic data of compound 5a. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 10.60 (d, J = 1.7 Hz, 1H), 8.44 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.19 (dq, J = 47.7, 6.6 Hz, 1H), 1.87 (dd, J = 24.1, 6.6 Hz, 3H). 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δ 189.35 (dd, J = 11.3, 4.8 Hz), 160.91 (d, J = 23.8 Hz), 150.40 (qd, J = 35.4, 1.2 Hz), 139.21 (d, J = 0.8 Hz), 131.63, 120.75 (q, J = 274.9 Hz), 120.34 (qd, J = 2.4, 0.9 Hz), 91.06 (d, J = 170.2 Hz), 21.18 (d, J = 23.0 Hz). 19F NMR (376 MHz, CDCl3): δ –68.71, –168.94. HRMS (ESI-TOF): m/z calculated for C9H8F4NO+ [M+H]+ 222.0537, found 222.0532.
