An efficient protocol for the selective fluorination of benzylic CH bonds is described. The process is catalyzed by manganese salen complexes and uses nucleophilic fluorine sources, such as triethylamine trihydrofluoride and KF. Reaction rates are sufficiently high (30 min) to allow adoption for the incorporation of 18F fluoride sources for PET imaging applications.

A direct conversion of C(sp(3))-H bonds to C(sp(3))-F bonds has been developed. In this process, a catalytic N-oxyl radical generated from N,N-dihydroxypyromellitimide abstracts hydrogen from the C(sp(3))-H bond and Selectfluor acts to trap the resulting carbon radical to form the C(sp(3))-F bond. This simple metal-free protocol enables the chemoselective introduction of a fluorine atom into various aromatic and aliphatic compounds and serves as a powerful tool for the efficient synthesis of fluorinated molecules.
