fragility of secondary and tertiary benzyl fluorides, as they observe elimination and hydrolysis in many cases [20][100], thereby raising question marks over their suitability as synthetic targets. Monofluorinated methylarenes, however, are much more stable to these decomposition pathways. The nucleophilic

Recently, amides have attracted more and more attention due to their extensive
, entries 2, 3, 5, and 9). To further extend the adaptability of this transformation, other methylarenes were also checked under the standard conditions. Pleasingly, m-xylene and p-xylene afforded the desired product 3 successfully, but in lower yields (Table 2, entries 10 and 11). In the same manner, we
