Efficient access to fluorinated homoallylic alcohols through an indium promoted fluoroallylation reaction

Herein, an efficient access to fluorinated homoallylic alcohol is reported. The fluorinated alcohols were obtained in good to excellent yield using indium and halo-fluorinated allylic derivatives. The developed methodology using γ-substituted halo-fluorinated allylic derivatives gave the corresponding α-substituted fluorinated homoallylic alcohol in good yields and good diastereoselectivities up to 86:14.
