• cycloaddition or addition–elimination reactions with 1,3-dipoles and gem-difluoroalkenes is largely unexplored and the only report of a cycloaddition is with 2-fluoroindolizines (Figure 1A) via a β-fluoride elimination in an SNV (nucleophilic vinylic substitution)-like transformation [9]. Nucleophilic addition

• ethers react surprisingly easily with various nucleophiles such as amines, thiols, alcohols or C-anions [2] under the conditions of nucleophilic vinylic substitution [3]. When using bi- or trifunctional nucleophiles, cyclic or bicyclic products are formed. Activated enol ethers thus represent
