Cyclopentadiene (1) was treated with xenon difluoride and (difluoroiodo)benzene to give trans- and cis-3,4-difluorocyclopentenes (2,3) and trans- and cis-1,4-difluorocyclopentenes (4,5). Reaction of 3,4-epoxycyclopentene (6) with pyridinium polyhydrogen fluoride gave four fluorohydrins which were converted with diethyiaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) to the difluorocyclopentenes 2-5. The best yield (50%) of the difluorocyclopentenes was from the reaction of DAST with epoxide 6. Synthesis and isolation of these labile difluorides of cyclopentenes (2-5) demonstrate the mild nature of these fluorinating reagents. |
