One aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of aryl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding aryl fluorides. Another aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of heteroaryl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding heteroaryl fluorides. Another aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of vinyl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding vinyl fluorides. In certain embodiments, simple fluoride sources, such as AgF and CsF, are used. In certain embodiments, the transformations tolerate a wide range of functional groups, allowing for introduction of fluorine atoms into highly functionalized organic molecules.

A flow process for Pd‐catalyzed CFbondformation is described. A microreactor with a packed‐bed design allows for easy handling of large quantities of insoluble CsF with precise control over reaction times, efficient mixing, and the ability to safely handle elevated temperatures and pressures. A variety of aryl triflates, including heteroaryl ones, were converted into aryl fluorides in short reaction

A new biaryl monophosphine ligand (AlPhos, L1) allows for the room-temperature Pd-catalyzed fluorination of a variety of activated (hetero)aryl trifiates. Furthermore, aryl triflates and bromides that are prone to give mixtures of regioisomeric aryl fluorides with Pd-catalysis can now be converted to the desired aryl fluorides with high regioselectivity. Analysis of the solid-state structures of several Pd(II) complexes, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations, shed light on the origin of the enhanced reactivity observed with L1.
One-Pot, Two-Step, Microwave-Assisted Palladium-Catalyzed Conversion of Aryl Alcohols to Aryl Fluorides via Aryl Nonaflates
A convenient procedure for converting aryl alcohols to aryl fluorides via aryl nonafluorobutylsulfonates (ArONf) is presented. Moderate to good one-pot, two-step yields were achieved by this nonaflation and microwave-assisted, palladium-catalyzed fluorination sequence. The reductive elimination step was investigated by DFT calculations to compare fluorination with chlorination, proving a larger thermodynamic driving force for the aryl fluoride product. Finally, a key aryl fluoride intermediate for the synthesis of a potent HCV NS3 protease inhibitor was smoothly prepared with the novel protocol.
Described are palladium precatalysts, and methods of making and using them. The palladium precatalysts show improved stability and improved reactivity in comparison to previously-described palladium precatalysts.
