New synthesis of polyfluorodiols: nine new derivatives of HOC(2-OH-C6H4)(CF3)2

Lithium phosphonate umpolung catalysts: Do fluoro substituents increase the catalytic activity?

“…Diol 3 was used as the precursor to investigate the influence of aromatic fluoro substituents. Six ring phosphonates were realized with diol 4 [ 27 ] and the analogous nonfluorinated 2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol ( 5 ) as precursor.…”
