Abstract
A powerful Fe(III)/NaBH(4)-mediated free radical hydrofluorination of unactivated alkenes is disclosed using Selectfluor reagent as a source of fluorine and resulting in exclusive Markovnikov addition. In contrast to the traditional and unmanageable free radical hydrofluorination of alkenes, the Fe(III)/NaBH(4)-mediated reaction is conducted under exceptionally mild reaction conditions (0 °C, 5 min, CH(3)CN/H(2)O). The reaction can be conducted open to the air and with water as a cosolvent and demonstrates an outstanding substrate scope and functional group tolerance.Entities:
