The influence that fluorine can have on chemical reactivity is illustrated by considering the smallest N-heterocycles, the

• enantiomer of β-lactam 4b remained intact. The net result was that a fluorinated stereocentre was rapidly constructed, with defined absolute configuration, within a nitrogen heterocycle. Conclusion When the concept of selective fluorination is applied in the context of N-heterocycles, the resulting molecules
