Abstract

Abstract Various new 1-fluoro-1-alkyl (or aryl)-2-substituted cyclobutanes were synthesized stereoselectively from 1-alkyl (or aryl) cyclopropyl carbinols by the ring expansion- fluorination using (i Pr) 2-KHF 2-(HF) n· Py, and 2-hydroxymethyl-1-fluorocyclobutanes were synthesized via a new rearrangement of (1-alkyl (or aryl) cyclopropyl) ethylene oxides.
