Abstract

A nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling between arylboronic acids and unactived 1-fluoro-1-iodoalkanes offers high efficiency, mild conditions, and excellent functional-group compatibility. Readily available nitrogen and phosphine ligands generated a variety of easily tunable catalysts to promote the fluoroalkylation for a broad range of both coupling partners.
