Popis: Earlier studies have shown that [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements of allyl esters are useful for the construction of fluorine-containing carboxylic acid derivatives. This paper describes the synthesis of 3-aryl-pent-4-enoic acid derivatives bearing either a pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5) or a trifluoromethyl (CF3) substituent in the 2-position by treatment of corresponding SF5- or CF3-acetates of p-substituted cinnamyl alcohols with triethylamine followed by trimethylsilyl triflate (TMSOTf). This Ireland–Claisen rearrangement delivered approximate 1:1 mixtures of syn/anti diastereoisomers due to tiny differences (
