An efficient synthesis of a variety of 2-arylacetonitriles containing a fluorinated stereogenic center through organo-catalyzed Michael addition reaction of 2-fluoro-2-arylacetonitriles has been developed. This protocol uses a cheap organocatalyst (DBU) and has a broad substrate scope: α, β-unsaturated ketones, esters, nitriles and sulfones were all successfully reacted. Importantly, water proved to be a good solvent for this reaction.

The synthesis of N-fluoro-o-benzenedisulfonimide (NFOBS, 2) and its use as an "electrophilic" fluorinating reagent with nucleophilic substrates is described and compared with that of N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSi, 3).NFOBS (2) is prepared in three steps in 81percent overall yield from commercially available o-benzenedisulfonic acid (4) and involves treatment of o-benzenedisulfonimide (6) with dilute fluorine (10percent F2/N2).Reaction of 2 with metal enolates, silyl enol ethers, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds affords the corresponding α-fluoro compounds in yields up to 95percent, with good control of mono- and difluorination.Fluorination of ortho-metalated aromatic compounds was achieved in modest to good yields (10-80percent).While the reactivities of 2 and 3 are similar, better yields were observed with the former reagent in the fluorination of metal enolates, Grignard and lithium reagents, while 3 gave better results with the ortho-lithiated aromatic substrates.The available evidence suggests an SN2-type mechanism for the fluorination of nucleophilic substrates by these reagents.
