Significance

The construction of carbon-fluorine bonds is an important yet difficult task in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Based on previous ­results on aminofluorination of styrenes (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 2856), the authors present a palladium-catalyzed tandem fluorination and cyclization of enynes to give vinyl fluorides.
