Synthesis of fluorinated aryl ethers via selective C–F functionalization with polyfluorobenzenes and carbonates under mild conditions

Abstract

A facile and efficient method to synthesize fluorinated aryl ethers with polyfluorobenzenes and carbonates without metal catalyst has been developed. Selective C–F bond and aryl fragment of carbonate participate in the reaction. The desired products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with good substrates compatibility.
