Abstract
AbstractThe C−F bond of acyl fluorides can be cleaved and added across tethered alkenes in the presence of a cationic rhodium(I) tetrafluoroborate catalyst. This 1,2‐carbofluorination reaction offers a powerful method for the synthesis of tertiary alkyl fluoride derivatives with an atom economy of 100 %. Mechanistic studies indicate that the concerted action of a rhodium cation and a tetrafluoroborate anion is key for the success of this catalytic cleavage and formation of C−F bonds in a controlled manner.
