Significance

A novel method for the synthesis of acyl fluorides from potassium (het)aryl/alkyl trifluoroborates is reported. The trifluoromethyl arylsulfonate (TFMS) serves as source of the in situ generated hazardous COF2 gas.

Comment

Detailed mechanistic studies including DFT calculations support the proposed mechanism. The dual role of the phosphine is noteworthy, acting as both organocatalyst and ligand of the palladium redox cycle.
