Abstract
A new organocatalytic enantioselective Michael addition of α-fluoromalonate to enals has been developed. The process is efficiently catalyzed by readily available chiral diphenylpyrolinol TES ether under mild reaction conditions to afford versatile highly enantioenriched fluorinated aldehydes.
