چکیده
In the last few years, transition metal-mediated reactions have joined the toolbox of chemists working in the field of fluorination for Life-Science oriented research. The successful execution of transition metal-catalyzed carbon-fluorine bond formation has become a landmark achievement in fluorine chemistry. This rapidly growing research field has been the subject of some excellent reviews. Our approach focuses exclusively on transition metal-catalyzed reactions that allow the introduction of -CFH2, -CF2H, -C n F2 n +1 and -SCF3 groups onto sp² carbon atoms. Transformations are discussed according to the reaction-type and the metal employed. The review will not extend to conventional non-transition metal methods to these fluorinated groups.

Recent Advances in Transition-Metal-Catalyzed, Directed Aryl C–H/N–H Cross-Coupling Reactions
Abstract Amination and amidation of aryl compounds using a transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction typically involves prefunctionalization or preoxidation of either partner. In recent years, a new class of transition-metal-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction has been developed for the direct formation of aryl C–N bonds. This short review highlights the substantial progr...
متن کاملTransition metal-free direct trifluoromethylthiolation of indoles using trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triphenylphosphine.
A novel triphenylphosphine-mediated direct trifluoromethylthiolation of indole derivatives using trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride as the SCF3 source was developed. Sodium iodide facilitated this transformation by generating iodine in situ which was found to accelerate this transformation. The use of a transition metal-free protocol, readily available reagents, and mild reaction conditions allo...
متن کاملRecent advances in transition-metal-catalyzed intermolecular carbomagnesiation and carbozincation
Carbomagnesiation and carbozincation reactions are efficient and direct routes to prepare complex and stereodefined organomagnesium and organozinc reagents. However, carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds are generally unreactive toward organomagnesium and organozinc reagents. Thus, transition metals were employed to accomplish the carbometalation involving wide varieties of substrates and reagents. R...
متن کاملFluoride elimination from substrates in hydroxylation reactions catalyzed by p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase.
Several fluorinated derivatives of p-hydroxybenzoate were synthesized and examined as substrates in the reaction catalyzed by p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase. All the derivatives tested served as substrates, undergoing tightly coupled hydroxylation by molecular oxygen. Hydroxylation of the difluoro and tetrafluoro derivatives liberated stoichiometric amounts of fluoride. Little or no fluoride was...

While nickel catalysts have previously been shown to activate even the least reactive Csp–O bonds, i.e. aryl ethers, in the context of C–C bond formation, little is known about the reactivity limits and molecular requirements for the introduction of valuable functional groups under homogeneous nickel catalysis. We identified that due to the high reactivity of Ni-catalysts, they are also prone t...
