A general method to convert simple exocyclic alkenes into saturated F-rings has been developed. The reaction involves reagent CFI(OAc). The reaction efficiently works on the mg-, g-, and even multigram scale.

The investigation of their lipophilicity characteristics and comparison with those of other 4-substituted proline analogs demonstrated a similar impact of CF and CFO groups on log .
