45. Among the solvents tested, toluene and THF were optimal. Reactions conducted above room temperature or in more polar solvents showed increased background reactivity, presumably due in part to the enhanced solubility of AgF under these conditions.

50. We have found that five- and seven-membered allylic chlorides undergo fluorination with reduced efficiency and enantioselectivity. An acyclic allylic chloride, (E)-6-chloronon-4-ene, also reacted with low enantioselectivity. See Supporting Information for details.
