Silver-Catalyzed Fluorination Reactions

Abstract

The silver-catalyzed fluorination has been developed for introducing a fluorine atom into organic compounds. Recent progress in this area is reviewed with an emphasis on the silver-catalyzed intramolecular aminofluorination of allenes.

Key words

silver - fluorination - cyclization - allene - fluoropyrrole
