Abstract
A mild intramolecular fluoro-cyclisation reaction of benzylic alcohols and amines has been developed. This strategy uses commercially available Selectfluor to trigger electrophilic cyclisations to afford fluorinated heterocycles containing 1,3-disubstitution. The dual role of the reagent as a fluorine source and a base is shown to be crucial for reactivity.
