Chapter Five<br />

When <strong>the</strong> reaction was repeated with 50 mol % Pd(dba)2 <strong>and</strong> PPh3 (1 equivalent), <strong>the</strong><br />

expected product, 3,3-difluoroallyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (182) was formed,<br />

however, <strong>the</strong> staring material was not fully consumed.<br />

5.3 Conclusions<br />

Following Kirihara’s protocol 2,2-difluoro-1-phenylbut-3-en-1-ol (158) was successfully<br />

syn<strong>the</strong>sised in 99 % yield, it was <strong>the</strong>n utilised by reacting with derivatised benzoyl chlorides<br />

to syn<strong>the</strong>sise a series <strong>of</strong> novel difluoroesters (159), (160), (161), (162), (163) <strong>and</strong> (164). All<br />
