materials, and organic synthesis, was described through C—F bond insertion into indoles using CHBr2F. The simple conditions, readily availability of CHBr2F, as well as the versatility of the transformations make this strategy very powerful in synthesizing 3-fluoroquinoline and 3-fluoroquinolone. The mechanistic studies reveal that bromofluorocarbene generated in-situ under basic condition was the
e approach was developed to access a series of fluorinatedheteroaromatics in moderate to excellent yields. This one‐pot procedure features a triple‐relay transformation of rapid dearomatization, fluorination, and rearomatization processes, which represents a conceptually novel strategy of combining partial hydrogenation and electrophilic fluorination.
