title: Fluorinated 5- and 7-membered carbacycle motifs by reaction of difluorocarbene with acetylene ethers.
abstract: The reaction of acetylene ethers with difluorocarbene (CF(2)), generated from the Ruppert-Prakash reagent, unexpectedly gave rise to co-produced fluorinated bicyclic [2.1.1]-hex-2-ene and cyclohepta-1,4-diene ring products.
