A silver-mediated internal alkyne-guided fluorination of unactivated C(sp)-H bonds is described. The reaction provides a facile access to γ-fluorinated fluoroalkylated ()-alkenes from readily available alkynes in promising yields with excellent regioselectivity, stereoselectivity, and site selectivity.

The reaction produces a variety of 2-benzyl indanones, 3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-ones, and 2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-ones in promising yields with excellent diastereoselectivity under very mild conditions, which may be appealing for the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
