Abstract

The tandem isomerization and nucleophilic aromatic substitution of allylic fluoro-substituted benzylic alcohols is described for the first time. In the presence of the ruthenium complex Ru(PPh3)3(CO)(H) 2, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-ol is converted into the corresponding para-amino ketone or para-phenolic substituted ketone.
