Fluorination of some highly functionalized cycloalkanes: chemoselectivity and substrate dependence

A study exploring the chemical behavior of some dihydroxylated beta-amino ester stereo-and regioisomers, derived from unsaturated cyclic beta-amino acids is described. The nucleophilic fluorinations involving hydroxy-fluorine exchange of some highly functionalized alicyclic diol derivatives have been carried out in view of selective fluorination, investigating substrate dependence, neighboring group assistance and chemodifferentiation
