Photocatalytic C-F Reduction and Functionalization.

Aldrichimica Acta

January 2016

Department of Chemistry, 107 Physical Science Building, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078, USA.

Functionalized polyfluorinated aromatics have become an important group of molecules for pharmaceutical and industrial applications. However, facile access to such valuable molecules remains an unmet challenge. In this review, we present and discuss photocatalytic C-F functionalization, which is emerging as a straightforward and operationally simple path to access partially fluorinated aromatics.
