title: Stereospecific anti SE2' fluorination of allenylsilanes: synthesis of enantioenriched propargylic fluorides.
abstract: The electrophilic fluorodesilylation of enantioenriched allenylsilanes proceeds with efficient transfer of chirality. The silylation-fluorination of propargylic alcohols occurs with overall retention of stereochemistry, a result consistent with a stereospecific anti S(E)2' mechanism for the fluorination step.
