Abstract

Anodic fluorination of 2-cyano-1-methylpyrrole 1 using Et3N·5HF in an undivided cell provided 5,5-difluoro-1-methyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one (5a). The Diels-Alder reaction of 5a with various dienes was successfully carried out to provide gem-difluorinated heterocyclic compounds in excellent yields.
