The three-component coupling reaction of (α-fluorovinyl)triphenylphosphonium triflate, cesium allylate, and aldehydes in trimethyl orthoformate gave the corresponding mono-fluorinated allyl ethers with good stereoselectivity; the resulting ethers were readily transformed into the corresponding mono-fluorinated allyl alcohols using the Cp2Zr-mediated reaction.
