Abstract

Fluorinated α‐bromoenones have received considerable attention in recent decade. Their ability to react in 1.2‐ and 1.4‐addition mode as well as the presence of bromine makes them valuable fluorinated building blocks in organic synthesis. This review is focused on the unusual and often unpredictable transformations of these compounds under the action of nitrogen nucleophiles.
