Abstract
The synthesis of fluoroheterocyclic ketene aminals was investigated. Fluorobenzyl ketene dithioacetals 1c reacted with nitric acid in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to give compound 2c. 1 reacted with diamines to afford 3–4. C-fluorobenzylation of 3–4 give the corresponding 5–8.
