Fluoride-promoted oxidation of Fischer alkoxy carbene complexes: stoichiometric and catalytic conditions.
The utility of fluoride anion as promoter of the oxidation of Fischer carbene complexes is presented. Two different and complementary methods that allow the fast and convenient preparation of carbene-derived esters in good yields have been developed using stoichiometric or catalytic quantities of fluoride ion.
