Transition-Metal Free Allylic Fluorination of Acyclic Olefins

one step allylic fluorination of alkenes is reported which furnishes the products in a highly regioselective manner via allylic rearrangement. The reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions with the use of trisubstituted alkenes as olefin partner and Selectfluor as an electrophilic fluorinating agent without the need of any transitionmetal catalyst or pre-functionalized substrate
