Abstract

The incorporation of fluorine-containing moieties into organic compounds is of great importance in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and materials science. Transition-metal-mediated perfluoroalkylation reactions have been studied in the past few decades and, owing to need for low-cost and environmentally friendly processes in the industrial and academic communities, the catalytic reaction has attracted much attention and has become a hot research field. Herein, an overview of recent advances on transition-metal-catalyzed trifluoromethylation and difluoromethylation reactions is given. Trifluoromethylthiolation and trifluoromethoxylation reactions are also reviewed.
