A safe, simple, and selective method and reagent for deoxyfluorination is disclosed. With the method and reagent disclosed herein, organic compounds such as carboxylic acids, carboxylates, carboxylic acid anhydrides, aldehydes, and alcohols can be fluorinated by using the most common nucleophilic fluorinating reagents and electron deficient fluoroarenes as mediators under mild conditions, giving corresponding fluoroorganic compounds in excellent yield with a wide range of functional group compatibility and easy product purification. For example, directly utilizing KF for deoxyfluorination of carboxylic acids provides the most economical and the safest pathway to access acyl fluorides, key intermediates for syntheses of peptide, amide, ester, and dry fluoride salts.

straightforward conversion of (hetero-)arenediazonium salts into the corresponding difluoromethyl (hetero-)arenes under mild conditions. The actual difluoromethylating reagent, a difluoromethyl–copper complex, is formed in situfrom copper thiocyanate and TMS–CF2H. The diazonium salts are either preformed or generated in situfrom broadly available aromatic amines.

A powerful difluoromethylating reagent [Ph4P]+[Cu(CF2H)2]− that was able to difluoromethylate a variety of aryl and alkyl electrophiles was developed. In the presence of an oxidant, complex 2 also reacted with various lithium nbutyl arylboronic acid pinacol esters, alkyne and heteroarene. Moreover, complex 2 could transmetalate the difluoromethyl reagent to other metals such as [Ph4P]+[Cu(Cl2)]− and

We report a general procedure for the direct mono- and di-hydrodefluorination of ArCF3 compounds. Exploiting the tunability of electrochemistry and the selectivity enabled by a Nicathode, the deepreduction garners high selectivity with good to excellent yields up to gram scale. The late-stage peripheral editing of CF3 feedstocks to construct fluoromethyl moieties will aid the rapid diversification
