Catalytic Decarboxylative Fluorination for the Synthesis of Tri- and Difluoromethyl Arenes

TL;DR: Treatment of readily available α,α-difluoro- and α-fluoroarylacetic acids with Selectfluor under Ag(I) catalysis led to decarboxylative fluorination, giving access to tri- and difluoromethylarenes applying a late-stage fluorination strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organofluorine chemistry: applications, sources and sustainability

TL;DR: Fluorine is an essential element for life in the developed world that impacts hugely on the general public because many pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, anaesthetics, materials and air conditioning materials owe their important properties to the presence of fluorine atoms within their structures as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elemental fluorine. Part 13. Gas-liquid thin film microreactors for selective direct fluorination.

TL;DR: Continuous flow gas-liquid thin film microreactors have been effectively used for the selective fluorination of a range of 1,3-dicarbonyl and aromatic substrates and the conversion of aromatic disulfides to the corresponding sulfur pentafluorides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiosynthesis and Evaluation of [18F]Selectfluor bis(triflate)†

TL;DR: Positron (b) emission tomography (PET) is a noninvasive molecular imaging technique that allows for the in vivo investigation of physiological processes and electrophilic F-fluorination suffers from well-recognized drawbacks.
