Abstract
Conditions have been developed whereby treatment of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-carbinols with tetrabutylammonium fluoride and cesium fluoride provides 2-fluoro carboxylic acids. The methodology was used to prepare fluoro derivatives of two fatty acids and of the pheromone of the European corn borer.Keywords
