- generation at the benzylic position is known to occur via multiple pathways [44][45][46][47]. These radicals can then undergo fluorination via fluorine-atom-transfer (FAT) with various reagents capable of SET pathways, such as Selectfluor and NFSI (Figure 10) [48]. By avoiding the need for strong bases and
- intramolecular fluorine-atom-transfer (FAT) from an N-fluorinated amide to a pendant carbon-based radical formed from an iron catalyst (Figure 15) [55][56]. This concept of fluorine transfer through a 6-membered transition state was shown to work efficiently from primary, as well as secondary, benzylic radicals
- authors proposed that under heating K2S2O8 decomposed to SO4•− which could then abstract the benzylic hydrogen to generate the benzylic radical. Fluorine-atom-transfer with Selectfluor then afforded the benzyl fluoride. Other fluorinating reagents such as NFSI or DAST did not perform as well. By varying
