Transition metal catalyzed allylic substitution is a powerful method for carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond formation and plays a pivotal role in modern organic synthesis.[1] These reactions encompass a wide variety of heteroatoms (N, O, S, Si, P) as nucleophiles. A transition metal catalyzed allylic fluorination would unveil new synthetic approaches towards highly valuable fluorinated compounds such as fine pharmaceuticals or 18F-labeled ...
