The gold(I)-catalyzed, stereoselective hydrofluorination of electron-deficient alkynes with triethylamine trihydrogen fluoride (Et<sub>3</sub>N·3HF) is described. Fluorinated <i>α,β</i>-unsaturated aldehydes, amides, esters, ketones, and nitriles were isolated in moderate to good yields as single diastereomers. In all but four cases, the (<i>Z</i>)-vinyl fluorides were initially formed in ≥97% diastereoselectivity. This work constitutes the first catalytic example of the diastereoselective prepa ...[more]
