Abstract

A nickel-catalyzed coupling reaction of α-bromo-α-fluoroketones with arylboronic acids was reported, which provides an efficient pathway to access 2-fluoro-1,2-diarylethanones in high yields. We also disclosed the synthesis of the monofluorination agents α-bromo-α-fluoroketones by using a trifluoroacetate release protocol. Mechanistic investigation indicated that a monofluoroalkyl radical is involved in the catalytic circle. Moreover, an important medical intermediate of flindokalner was synthesized via a nickel-catalyzed coupling reaction of α-bromo-α-fluoro-2-indolone and boronic ester.
