New methods for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds

This thesis describes C–F bond formations and polyfluoroarenation reactions, including the direct electrophilic fluorination of olefins, the highly stereocontrolled synthesis of fluorinated 2,6-trans dihydropyrans via Prins cyclization, and the Pd-catalyzed coupling of polyfluoroarenes and polyfluor...

Description
Summary:This thesis describes C–F bond formations and polyfluoroarenation reactions, including the direct electrophilic fluorination of olefins, the highly stereocontrolled synthesis of fluorinated 2,6-trans dihydropyrans via Prins cyclization, and the Pd-catalyzed coupling of polyfluoroarenes and polyfluorobenzoic acids with simple arenesas; providing an efficient entry to fluorobiphenyls.
