Free-Radical-Promoted Dehydrogenative Coupling of Polyfluorinated Alcohol with Quinone, Chromone, and Coumarin

Abstract

A free-radical-mediated dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of polyfluorinated alcohol with quinone, coumarin, and chromone was developed. It provides a sustainable and practical strategy for installation of fluorine atom into organic molecules by using polyfluorinated alcohols.
