(Radio)Fluorination Reactions for the Synthesis of Aryl Fluorides: Recent Advances and Perspectives

Abstract The formation of carbon‐fluorine (C−F) bonds is an important research field in organic synthesis because inserting a fluorine atom into an organic compound can alter its physicochemical properties, such as metabolic stability and permeability. Due to this unique property, organic fluorinated compounds, especially aryl fluorides, have a wide range of applications in various fields, including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. Therefore, numerous metal‐ or metal‐free‐mediated fluorination reactions have been developed to synthesize aryl fluorides. In this mini‐review, we summarize recent ten years’ advances in fluorination reactions for the synthesis of aryl fluorides.
