The reaction of fluorine-containing compounds with conjugated dienoic acids initiated by sodium dithionite

The reaction of fluorine-containing halides and acetamides with conjugated dienoic acids initiated by sodium dithionite gave halide-free 1,4-adducts in 40–80% yields, with the E configuration as the major products.
