METAL-CATALYZED CARBON-FLUORINE BOND FORMATION

摘要

One aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of aryl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding aryl fluorides. Another aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of heteroaryl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding heteroaryl fluorides. Another aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of vinyl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding vinyl fluorides. In certain embodiments, simple fluoride sources, such as AgF and CsF, are used. In certain embodiments, the transformations tolerate a wide range of functional groups, allowing for introduction of fluorine atoms into highly functionalized organic molecules.
