Novel achiral and chiral alkyl α-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)- α-fluoroacetates can be readily synthesized by metalation-fluorination of (1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)acetates. DBU-mediated condensations of these fluorinated synthons with aldehydes proceed in a facile manner at 0 °C or at room temperature giving high yields of α-fluoro acrylates. Ketones are unreactive under these conditions. The presence of fluorine renders the synthon substantially more reactive compared to the unfluorinated analogue. Reactivity of α-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)-α-fluoroacetate and the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reagent (EtO)2P(O)CHFCOOEt has also been compared.
