New methods and reagents for carbon-fluorine bond formation

Thesis

After a general introduction about the properties and preparation of organofluorine compounds (Chapter 1), this thesis is divided into two parts focussing on the development of new methods for C–F bond formation (Part A) as well as studies towards the development of novel fluorinating reagents (Part B).

Part A: New Methods for Carbon–Fluorine Bond Formation

Part A consists of two chapters outlining the development of a Pd-catalysed hydrofluorination of alkenylarenes (Chapte...
