Fluorinated acyl‐Meldrum’s acid derivatives were synthesised by electrophilic fluorination of appropriate phenacyl Meldrum’s acid substrates using Selectfluor. Reactions with water, ethanol, Grignard and alkynyl lithium reagents gave rise to the corresponding fluoro‐acetophenone, ‐1,3‐ketoester, ‐1,3‐diketone and ‐pyran‐4‐one products respectively from the same selectively fluorinated scaffold in one‐step procedures.
