✦ Synopsis
A tandem stereoselective reduction-olefination reaction of ethyl 2-acyl-2-fluoro-2-diethylphosphonoacetate employing NaBH 4 in EtOH was developed. The one-pot reaction gave a-fluoro-a,b-unsaturated esters with excellent (Z)-selectivity. A plausible mechanism involving a diastereoselective reduction predicted by the Felkin-Anh model, followed by olefination similar to the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, has been proposed.
