title: Use of acid fluorides increases the scope of the reductive acylation of esters.
abstract: The use of acyl fluorides in the Rychnovsky reductive acylation of esters allows a variety of esters to be converted to their corresponding alpha-acyloxy ethers in good to excellent yields, without the need to sacrifice an extra equiv of carboxylic acid functionality.
