Fluorinated organocatalysts for the enantioselective epoxidation of enals: molecular preorganisation by the fluorine-iminium ion gauche effect.

TL;DR: The fluorine-iminium ion gauche effect is triggered upon union of a secondary β-fluoroamine and an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, providing a useful strategy for controlling the molecular topology of intermediates that are central to organocatalytic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Designing Fluorinated Cinchona Alkaloids for Enantioselective Catalysis: Controlling Internal Rotation by a Fluorine‐Ammonium Ion gauche Effect (φNCCF)

TL;DR: A fluoride-ammonium ion gauche effect constitutes a partial solution to the long-standing problem of governing internal rotations in cinchonium-based catalysts relying solely on a fluorine conformational effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Design Exploiting a Fluorine gauche Effect as a Stereoelectronic Trigger

TL;DR: This paper describes the application of a fluorine gauche effect to predictably control torsional rotation in a class of fluorinated 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) analogues and validate this design approach to control molecular space.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Concise Synthesis of (S)-2-(Fluorodiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine: ANovel Organocatalyst for the Stereoselective Epoxidation of α,β-UnsaturatedAldehydes

TL;DR: In this paper, a concise synthesis of (S)-2-(fluorodiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidine from cheap, commercially available starting materials is described, which includes ease of synthesis, computationally efficient purification steps, and an operationally simple deoxy-fluorination step to install the C-F bond.
