Journal of the American Chemical Society 131(5): 1662-1663.0002-78631520-5126http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:8156524We report a regiospecific silver-mediated fluorination of aryl stannanes. The presented reaction can afford complex fluoroarenes from readily available phenols in three steps. The operational simplicity and the broad substrate scope of the fluorination should render this reaction a useful tool for the synthesis of milligram to gram quantities of functionalized aryl fluorides. Silver-mediated oxidative transformations of aryl nucleophiles that proceed via bimetallic redox processes are a new avenue to develop carbon−heteroatom bond formations.en-USbenzene derivativeschemical synthesischemistryfluorinated hydrocarbonsphenolssilvertin compoundsJournal Article2012-02-1010.1021/ja8086664
