The stereospecific BF3-mediated 伪-ketol rearrangement of 尾-hydroxy-伪-ketoamides yields isolable 2-difluoroboranyloxy-3-keto-amides. X-ray and NMR analysis reveal a carbonyl coordination of the boron by the amide not the ketone. The boron complexes are air-stable solids, can be purified by silica gel chromatography, and exhibit novel reactivity in bromination and superior stereoselectivity in dipolar cycloaddition reactions.
