Ligand‐Promoted Iron(III)‐Catalyzed Hydrofluorination of Alkenes

Abstract

An iron-catalyzed hydrofluorination of unactivated alkenes has been developed. The use of a multidentate ligand and the fluorination reagent N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) proved to be critical for this reaction, which afforded various fluorinated compounds in up to 94 % yield.
