For the latter, nucleoside analogues (Figure 2, VI) containing a trans-butenyl moiety where the endocyclic C–O bond was replaced by a C=C bond are recognized by kinases as dUMP surrogate (V) [11]. However, there is no existing data for the corresponding fluoroalkene (VII), as

The synthesis of fluoroalkene precursors of modified acyclonucleosides (VIII) has been explored by Choi, and more recently by us [15][16][17]. Nevertheless, it was reported that no antiviral activity for compounds of series

• which they detailed the Markovnikov hydrofluorination of alkynes using HF.DMPU coupled with a gold catalyst [60]. Accordingly, the appropriate propargylmalonate derivatives were fluorinated to give fluoroalkene intermediates, which were then converted into malonate-based enynes 37 (Z = CO2R) through a
