With fluoroaromatic compounds increasingly employed as scaffolds in agrochemicals and
active pharmaceutical ingredients, the development of methods which facilitate …

Palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions are among the most powerful
tools for constructing carbon–carbon bonds. Moreover, the selective coupling between gem …

We report the magnesiation of aryl fluorides catalyzed by an Al–Rh heterobimetallic
complex. We show that the complex is highly reactive to cleave the C–F bonds across the …

Abstract A stereoselective Pd (PPh3) 4‐catalyzed C− F bond alkynylation of tetrasubstituted
gem‐difluoroalkenes with terminal alkynes has been developed. This method gives access …

The activation and functionalization of carbon–fluorine bonds represent a significant
synthetic challenge, given the high thermodynamic barrier to C–F bond cleavage …

The activation of C–F bonds has long been regarded as the subject of research in
organometallic chemistry, given their synthetic relevance and the fact that fluorine is the …

Inspired by natural metalloenzymes that efficiently catalyze a variety of transformations,
chemists have developed large numbers of dinuclear transition-metal complexes with …

A highly stereoselective palladium (0)-catalyzed hydrodefluorination (HDF) of
tetrasubstituted gem-difluoroalkenes is developed. By using catalytic Pd (PPh3) 4 (2.5–5 …

The Ni0-catalyzed borylation of fluorobenzene (PhF) was theoretically investigated. Density
functional theory (DFT) calculations disclosed that the Ph–F bond activation occurred …

The hydride ligand in the cationic calcium hydride supported by a NNNN-type macrocycle,[(
Me4TACD) 2Ca2 (μ-H) 2 (THF)][BAr4] 2 (1; Me4TACD= 1, 4, 7, 10-tetramethyl-1, 4, 7, 10 …
