Abstract

The synthesis of fluorinated arenes by the iron-mediated fluo­rination of potassium aryltrifluoroborates with Selectfluor® and potassium fluoride is described. The fluorination reaction uses commercially available reagents and without requiring the addition of exogenous ligands. Fluorinated compounds were obtained in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions.
