Cover Story: The biomass derivative levoglucosenone and its reduced form Cyrene, which are obtained from the acid-catalyzed pyrolysis of cellulose, have emerged as promising chiral platform chemicals in materials chemistry and building blocks for the production of pharmaceuticals or natural products. Reports of fluorinated derivatives are limited; however, the incorporation of fluorine could be beneficial for the enantioselective synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products. We report a one-carbon difluorocyclopropanation/ring-expansion of Cyrene. The ring-enlargement was achieved by converting Cyrene into an enamine, reacting it with an in situ generated difluorocarbene, and then heating to open the cyclopropane ring. Access to the product provides access to a novel fluorinated analogue of this important chiral biomass pyrolysis product. View this paper
