C F Bond Activation Reactions

This chapter covers the recent advances on CF bond activation reactions mediated by metals and metalloids from a synthetic point of view. Section 12.11.1 describes the principal modes of CF bond activation. Section 12.11.1.2 discusses the activation of C(sp3)F bonds, such as allylic, benzylic, propargylic, and alkyl CF bonds. 12.11.1.3 Overview of alkene C(sp, 12.11.1.4 Overview of arene C(sp cover the activation of C(sp2)F bonds in alkenes and arenes, such as vinylic, allenylic, acyl, and aromatic CF bonds. A comprehensive set of examples of CF bond activation are provided in 12.11.2 Survey of C(sp, 12.11.3 Survey of alkene C(sp, 12.11.4 Survey of arene C(sp, according to the above classifications. Section 12.11.5 presents forward-looking conclusions.
