Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis for the Synthesis of Fluorinated Aromatic Compounds

Fluorine-containing functional groups are important motifs influencing physical and biological properties of organic compounds. Visible-light photoredox catalysis as a powerful strategy for the activation small molecules contributed significantly to rapid progress new synthetic procedures allowing introduction fluorine atoms into substrates. In this review, we highlight distinct strategies transition metal- organic-photocatalytic fluorination arenes heteroarenes by broad range fluorinating The presented divided two groups. first group involves reactions enabling direct attachment CF3-, CnFm-, F-, CF3O-, CF3S-, SO2F- substituents various aromatic second presents tandem where formation system occurs after installation fluorine-containing on non-aromatic fragment molecule.
