Pyrolysis of the products led to vinyl fluorides in excellent yields. The reaction of 2 with carbonyl compounds led to the corresponding β-hydroxy-α-fluoromethyl phenyl sulfoxides. Pyrolysis of some of the sulfoxides gave fluoromethylketones in moderate yields. © 1983.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyChemistryPharmacology, Toxicology and PharmaceuticsArticleSCOPUS10.1016/S0040-4039(00)81509-9
