C-F Bond Activation by Aryl Carbocations: Conclusive Intramolecular Fluoride Shifts between Carbon Atoms in Solution and the First Examples of Intermolecular Fluoride Ion Abstractions

摘要

In conclusion, we have demonstrated C-F bond activation using aryl cations and have provided the first definitive examples of intramolecular and intermolecular fluoride abstractions in solution. Further work is aimed at the intermolecular activation of other fluorocarbons and the synthesis of characterizable fluoronium ions containing hypervalent [C-F-C]~+ bonds in solution.
