The F···Ti bonding in the transition structures determines high trans- and syn-diastereoselectivities for aldol reactions of SF5-acetates with aldehydes in the presence of TiCl4 in the non-nucleophilic solvent CH2Cl2. Such bonding is canceled in nucleophilic solvents where opposite cis-stereochemistry is observed. The potential of thus obtained stereoisomeric SF5-aryl acrylates as dipolarophiles in the preparation of SF5-containing heterocycles is demonstrated.
