Copper(I)-InitiatedSite-Selective β–ζ-C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H BondFluorination of Ketones, Carboxylic Esters,and Amides by Selectfluor
A synthetic method that enables the site-selective fluorination at an unactivated C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–H bond located two to six C–C bond distances from the CO group in ketones, carboxylic esters, and amides by Selectfluor [1-chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate)] aided by a copper(I) salt is described. The site selectivity of the C(sp<sup>3</sup>)–F bond formation protocol was exemplified by the late-stage functionalization of five natural product and drug molecule derivatives.
