Abstract
We report here a practical and cost-effective method for the synthesis of CHF2-containing benzimidazo- and indolo[2,1,a]-isoquinolin-6(5H)-ones through a visible light-mediated difluoromethylation/cyclization cascade. The method, which affords functionalized multifused N-heterocyclic scaffolds in moderate to high yields under mild reaction conditions, is also easily scalable using low-cost 3D printed photoflow reactors.

Abstract
Reforming sustainable 3d-metal-based visible light catalytic platforms for inert bulk chemical activation is highly desirable. Herein, we demonstrate the use of a Brønsted acid to unlock robust and practical iron ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) photocatalysis for the activation of multifarious inert haloalkylcarboxylates (CnXmCOO-, X = F or Cl) to produce CnXm radicals. This process enables the fluoro-polyhaloalkylation of non-activated alkenes by combining easily available Selectfluor as a fluorine source. Valuable alkyl fluorides including potential drug molecules can be easily obtained through this protocol. Mechanistic studies indicate that the real light-harvesting species may derive from the in situ-assembly of Fe3+, CnXmCOO-, H+, and acetonitrile solvent, in which the Brønsted acid indeed increases the efficiency of LMCT between the iron center and CnXmCOO- via hydrogen-bond interactions. We anticipate that this Brønsted acid-unlocked iron LMCT platform would be an intriguing sustainable option to execute the activation of inert compounds.

Abstract
An efficient [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between in situ generated nitrile imines from hydrazonoyl halides and vinylsulfonium salts is developed. The nitrile imines are demonstrated to be a new class of reaction partner for vinylsulfonium salts to conduct the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction. The process provides a concise and efficient method for the construction of pyrazole derivatives under mild reaction conditions with broad substrate scope, good product yields, and high regioselectivity.

Abstract
Nucleophilic fluorination of secondary aliphatic substrates, especially of halides, still remains a challenge. Among the available reagents, TBAT belongs to one of the best choices due to its stability, affordable price and low toxicity. With the aim to improve its selectivity, we synthesized three analogues modified in the aryl part of the TBAT reagent with one or two electron donating methoxy groups or with one electron withdrawing trifluoromethyl group. All three reagents are air-stable compounds and their structure was confirmed by a single crystal X-ray analysis. In testing the reactivity and selectivity of the reagents with a library of secondary bromides, as well as of other selected primary and secondary substrates, we found that substitution with methoxy groups mostly improves both reactivity and selectivity compared to TBAT, while the substitution with trifluoromethyl group leads to inferior results. Difluorosilicates modified by more than two electron donating methoxy groups proved to be unstable and decomposed spontaneously to the HF2 - anion. DFT calculations of tetramethylammonium analogues of the studied reagents disclosed that the substitution of the phenyl group with the methoxy substituent lowers the transitions state energy of the decomposition to a fluorosilane-fluoride complex, while the substitution with the trifluoromethyl group has an opposite effect.

Abstract
Fluorine is an element renowned for its unique properties. Its powerful capability to modulate molecular properties makes it an attractive substituent for protein binding ligands; however, the rational design of fluorination can be challenging with effects on interactions and binding energies being difficult to predict. In this Perspective, we highlight how computational methods help us to understand the role of fluorine in protein-ligand binding with a focus on molecular simulation. We underline the importance of an accurate force field, present fluoride channels as a showcase for biomolecular interactions with fluorine, and discuss fluorine specific interactions like the ability to form hydrogen bonds and interactions with aryl groups. We put special emphasis on the disruption of water networks and entropic effects.

Abstract
Both the 3-fluorooxindole and germinal bisphosphonate structural motifs are prevalent in bioactive molecules because of their associated biological activities. We describe an approach to accessing 3,3-disubstituted 3-fluorooxindoles bearing a geminal bisphosphate fragment through a highly enantioselective Michael addition reaction between 3-fluorooxindoles and vinylidene bisphosphonates. These reactions are catalyzed by a commercially available cinchona alkaloid catalyst, have a broad substrate scope concerning 3-fluorooxindoles, and provide the corresponding addition products in a yield of up to 95% with an enantiomeric excess of up to 95%. A reasonable reaction pathway to explain the observed stereochemistry is also proposed.

Abstract
The selective reduction of an aromatic trifluoromethyl substituent to a difluoromethyl substituent may be achieved by base-promoted elimination to form a difluoro-p-quinomethide which is trapped by an intramolecular nucleophile. High yields are obtained when the nucleophilic trap entails the conformationally favoured cyclisation of an aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) derivative. The resulting cyclised difluoromethyl-substituted arylimidazolidinone products are readily converted to versatile difluoromethyl-substituted aldehydes by reduction and hydrolysis. Defluorination is successful on a range of benzenoid (both para and ortho CF3-substituted) and heterocyclic substrates. Double defluorination may likewise be achieved sequentially, or in a single step, from an Aib dipeptide derivative.

Abstract
We successfully developed an enantioselective trifluoromethylthiolation of structurally diverse carbonyl compounds. Trichloroisocyanuric acid and AgSCF3 were employed to generate active electrophilic trifluoromethylthio species in situ for asymmetric C-SCF3 bond formation. A broad variety of chiral SCF3-carbon nucleophiles (pyrazolones, β-keto esters, and β-keto amides) were obtained in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee) by Cinchona alkaloid derived squaramide catalysts. The reaction exhibits high efficiency, good enantioselectivity, and high functional group tolerance, which provided a novel and efficient way for asymmetric synthesis of trifluoromethylthiolated carbonyl compounds.

Abstract
An oxa-6π-electrocyclization of difluoroenoxysilanes with diaryl 2-indolylmethanols has been developed. In addition, a rarely reported C3-nucleophilic [3+2] cycloaddition of difluoroenoxysilanes with dialkyl 2-indolylmethanols has been disclosed. This divergent cycloaddition approach affording readily available difluoroenoxysilanes as three-atom and C2 synthons provides rapid access to fluoro 2H-pyrano[3,4-b]indoles and gem-difluoro cyclopenta[b]indoles in good to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. The metal-free and mild conditions using only HFIP as the solvent without any external acid catalyst illuminate practical and environmentally benign advantages.

Abstract
Fluorinated compounds are a staple of modern-day chemical innovation, and efficient strategies for their synthesis are highly valuable. In this chemical space, fluoroalkenes continue to be the object of much interest across diverse fields, including drug development and pharmaceuticals with active roles as bioisosteres. Herein, in expanding chemists' synthetic toolbox for constructing valuable organofluorine compounds, we report a "pipeline" strategy for the synthesis of fluorinated olefins, viz., gem-difluoroalkenyl and monofluoroalkenyl arenes with high E-isomeric selectivity. The advantages of this streamlined synthetic protocol include mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, broad substrate scope, and good to excellent yields, even at gram scales. Critical to this robust procedure is the use of widely available and inexpensive "scavenger" solid-support Merrifield peptide resin for removing phosphine impurities. Further computational investigations offering clarity into this reactivity are disclosed.

Abstract
Ligand coupling on hypervalent main group elements has emerged as a pivotal methodology for the synthesis of functionalized N-heteroaromatic compounds in recent years due to the avoidance of transition metals and the mildness of the reaction conditions. In this direction, the reaction of N-heteroaryl sulfur(IV) and N-heteroaryl phosphorus(V) compounds has been well studied. However, the ligand coupling of sulfur(VI) is still underdeveloped and the reaction of alkyl N-heteroarylsulfones is still elusive, which does not match the high status of sulfones as the chemical chameleons in organic synthesis. Here we present a ligand coupling-enabled formal SO2 extrusion of fluoroalkyl 2-azaheteroarylsulfones under the promotion of Grignard reagents, which not only enriches the chemistry of sulfones, but also provides a novel and practical synthetic tool towards N-heteroaromatic fluoroalkylation.

We report here a highly straightforward access to a variety of CHF2-containing heterocycles, including lactones, tetrahydrofurans, tetrahydropyrans, benzolactones, phthalanes, and pyrrolidines, through a visible light-mediated intramolecular oxy-difluoromethylation under continuous flow. The method, which relies on the use of readily available starting materials, low-cost 3D printed photoflow reactors, and difluoromethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide used here as a CHF2 radical precursor, is practical and scalable and provides the desired products in moderate to excellent yields and excellent regio- and stereoselectivities.

Abstract
Tertiary C-F bonds are important structural designs; however, they suffer from challenging synthesis. Current methodologies use corrosive amine-HF salts or expensive and hazardous catalysts and reagents. Our group recently introduced collidinium tetrafluoroborate as an efficient fluorinating agent for anodic decarboxyfluorination reactions. Nevertheless, tertiary carboxylic acids are less readily available and more challenging to prepare than their alcohol analogues. Herein we report a practical, mild, and cheap electrochemical method to achieve deoxyfluorination of hindered carbon centers.

Abstract
The selective halogenation of complex (hetero)aromatic systems is a critical yet challenging transformation that is relevant to medicinal chemistry, agriculture, and biomedical imaging. However, current methods are limited by toxic reagents, expensive homogeneous second- and third-row transition metal catalysts, or poor substrate tolerance. Herein, we demonstrate that porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) containing terminal Co(III) halide sites represent a rare and general class of heterogeneous catalysts for the controlled installation of chlorine and fluorine centers into electron-deficient (hetero)aryl bromides using simple metal halide salts. Mechanistic studies support that these halogen exchange (halex) reactions proceed via redox-neutral nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) at the Co(III) sites. The MOF-based halex catalysts are recyclable, enable green halogenation with minimal waste generation, and facilitate halex in a continuous flow. Our findings represent the first example of SNAr catalysis using MOFs, expanding the lexicon of synthetic transformations enabled by these materials.

Abstract
Allylsilanes can be regioselectively transformed into the corresponding 3-silylfluorohydrin in good yield using a sequence of epoxidation followed by treatment with HF·Et3N with or without isolation of the intermediate epoxide. Various silicon-substitutions are tolerated, resulting in a range of 2-fluoro-3-silylpropan-1-ol products from this method. Whereas other fluorohydrin syntheses by epoxide opening using HF·Et3N generally require more forcing conditions (e.g., higher reaction temperature), opening of allylsilane-derived epoxides with this reagent occurs at room temperature. We attribute this rate acceleration along with the observed regioselectivity to a β-silyl effect that stabilizes a proposed cationic intermediate. The use of enantioenriched epoxides indicates that both SN1- and SN2-type mechanisms may be operable depending on substitution at silicon. Conformational analysis by NMR and theory along with a crystal structure obtained by X-ray diffraction points to a preference for silicon and fluorine to be proximal to one another in the products, perhaps favored due to electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
An unprecedented fluoroarylation of 1,1-difluoroallenes with a cost-effective nucleophilic fluoride reagent and aryldiazonium salts is reported. This visible light promoted gold-catalyzed reaction allows a stereo- and regioselective incorporation of both the fluorine atom and aryl group, enabling a straightforward construction of multi-substituted trifluoromethyl alkenes. Under the mild reaction conditions, a nice tolerance of diverse functional groups is achieved. The high regioselectivity for fluorine-incorporation is rationalized by considering the thermodynamic driving force of trifluoromethyl group formation, whereas the counterintuitive stereoselectivity that aryl is installed on the side of the bulkier γ-substituent is interpreted by alleviating the increasing 1,3-allylic interaction in the gold-coordinated allene intermediate en route to the product.

Abstract
Frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) bond activation chemistry has greatly developed over the last two decades since the seminal report of metal-free reversible hydrogen activation. Recently, FLP systems have been utilized to allow monoselective C-F bond activation (at equivalent sites) in polyfluoroalkanes. The problem of 'over-defluorination' in the functionalization of polyfluoroalkanes (where multiple fluoro-positions are uncontrollably functionalized) has been a long-standing chemical problem in fluorocarbon chemistry for over 80 years. FLP mediated monoselective C-F bond activation is complementary to other solutions developed to address 'over-defluorination' and offers several advantages and unique opportunities. This perspective highlights some of these advantages and opportunities and places the development of FLP mediated C-F bond activation into the context of the wider effort to overcome 'over-defluorination'.

Abstract
TBAT (tetrabutylammonium difluorotriphenylsilicate) is an excellent homogeneous nucleophilic fluorination reagent, but a high excess of the reagent was reported to be essential. We hence optimized the reaction conditions and compared its nucleophilic fluorination reactivity with that of other common commercial nucleophilic fluorination reagents, such as anhydrous TBAF and TASF (tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate). As the substrates, we employed a standard set of primary and secondary octyl substrates under identical conditions. To eliminate the possibility of hydrogen fluoride elimination in the above reagents, we prepared four quaternary ammonium fluorides lacking β-elimination possibility in the hydrocarbon chain, transformed them to the corresponding difluorotriphenylsilicates, and compared their reactivity with that of the commercial reagents. Furthermore, attempts to isolate analogous tetrabutylammonium difluoromethyldiphenylsilicate or difluorodimethylphenylsilicate failed, as was confirmed by comparison of the published experimental data with computed 19F NMR spectra. Finally, we studied the transition states of decomposition of various tetramethylammonium methylphenyldifluorosilicates by DFT methods and found that their relative energies increase with an increasing number of phenyl groups. The formation of difluorosilicates is a nearly barrierless process.

Abstract
A highly diastereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of aziridines with difluorinated silyl enol ethers has been developed. This approach provides a facile methodology for highly functionalized gem-difluorinated pyrrolidines in good to excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. A one-pot, two-step approach for synthesis of structurally interesting fluorinated pyrroles has also been developed through a cycloaddition/aromatization/desulfonation sequence. Moreover, readily available substrates, mild reaction conditions, and easy scale-up synthesis show practical advantages.

Abstract
Much progress has been made in the development of methods to both create compounds that contain C-F bonds and to functionalize C-F bonds. As such, C-F bonds are becoming common and versatile synthetic functional handles. This review summarizes the advantages of defluorinative functionalization reactions for small molecule synthesis. The coverage is organized by the type of carbon framework the fluorine is attached to for mono- and polyfluorinated motifs. The main challenges, opportunities and advances of defluorinative functionalization are discussed for each class of organofluorine. Most of the text focuses on case studies that illustrate how defluorofunctionalization can improve routes to synthetic targets or how the properties of C-F bonds enable unique mechanisms and reactions. The broader goal is to showcase the opportunities for incorporating and exploiting C-F bonds in the design of synthetic routes, improvement of specific reactions and advent of new methods.

This protocol is based on an air- and moisture-tolerant dioxomolybdenum-catalyzed reduction of nitroaromatics, employing pinacol as a reducing agent, which enables subsequent diazotization and halogenation steps. This methodology represents a step-economical, practical, and alternative procedure for synthesizing haloaromatics directly from nitroaromatics.

Abstract
Fluorine is an increasingly common substituent in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals because it improves the bioavailability and metabolic stability of organic molecules. Fluorinated gases represent intuitive building blocks for the late-stage installation of fluorinated groups, but they are generally overlooked because they require the use of specialized equipment. We report a general strategy for handling fluorinated gases as benchtop-stable solid reagents using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Gas-MOF reagents are prepared on gram-scale and used to facilitate fluorovinylation and fluoroalkylation reactions. Encapsulation of gas-MOF reagents within wax enables stable storage on the benchtop and controlled release into solution upon sonication, which represents a safer alternative to handling the gas directly. Furthermore, our approach enables high-throughput reaction development with these gases.

Abstract
A new SN2' reaction type of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) ester with sulfonyl anion, generated in situ via detrifluoroacetylation as a nucleophile is developed. Experimental results and DFT calculations disclose that the reaction proceeds via C-C bond cleavage to generate a PhSO2CF2 anion, C-S bond cleavage to generate a sulfonyl anion with the release of CF2 carbene, and an SN2' reaction with the MBH ester. The reaction features operational simplicity, wide substrate scope, high yields, and excellent stereoselectivity, which represents a new reaction mode of fluorinated gem-diols and also provides an efficient way to obtain β,γ-unsaturated sulfones.

Abstract
Synthesis and applications of fluoroalkyl and fluoroalkenyliodonium salts are summarized in this account article, focusing preferably to the reagents designed in our laboratory in the last decade. Among these reagents trifluoroethyl(aryl)iodonium salts have been used most frequently to build carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds in simple nucleophilic substitutions and through transition metal catalyzed coupling reactions. Iodonium salts equipped with unsaturated fluorinated function showed diverse reactivity due to their electron deficient character, and these molecular motifs enable cycloadditions and nucleophilic additions to prepare fluorinated carbo- and heterocyclic molecules. Beyond the overview of existing transformations, with the presented collection, we aim to inspire future developments of iodonium reagents and their application in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The trifluoromethyl group is a powerful structural motif in drugs and polymers; thus, developing trifluoromethylation reactions is an important area of research in organic chemistry. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in developing new methods for the trifluoromethylation of organic molecules, ranging from nucleophilic and electrophilic approaches to transition-metal catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrolytic reactions. While these reactions were initially developed in batch systems, more recent microflow versions are highly attractive for industrial applications owing to their scalability, safety, and time efficiency. In this review, we discuss the current state of microflow trifluoromethylation. Approaches for microflow trifluoromethylation based on different trifluoromethylation reagents are described, including continuous flow, flow photochemical, microfluidic electrochemical reactions, and large-scale microflow reactions.

Abstract
Over the last years, methods devoted to the synthesis of asymmetric molecules bearing a perfluoroalkylated chain have been limited in number. Among them, only a few can be used on a large variety of scaffolds. This microreview aims at summarizing these recent advances in enantioselective perfluoroalkylation (-CF3 , -CF2 H, -Cn F2n+1 ) and highlights the need for new enantioselective methods to easily synthesize chiral fluorinated molecules which would be useful for the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Some perspectives are also mentioned.

Abstract
The incorporation of fluorine atoms into an organic compound can alter the chemical reactivity or biological activity of the resulting compound due to the strong electron withdrawing nature of the fluorine atom. We have synthesized many original gem-difluorinated compounds and described the results in four sections. The first section describes the synthesis of optically active-gem-difluorocyclopropanes via the chemo-enzymatic reaction; we applied these compounds to liquid crystalline molecules, then further discovered a potent DNA cleavage activity for the gem-difluorocyclopropane derivatives. The second section describes the synthesis of selectively gem-difluorinated compounds via a radical reaction; we synthesized fluorinated analogues of a sex pheromone of the male African sugarcane borer, Eldana saccharina, and used the compounds as proof for investigating the origin of pheromone molecule recognition on the receptor protein. The third involves the synthesis of 2,2-difluorinated-esters by visible light-driven radical addition of 2,2-difluoroacetate with alkenes or alkynes in the presence of an organic pigment. The last section describes the synthesis of gem-difluorinated compounds via the ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropanes. We further developed a novel method of synthesizing gem-difluorohomoallylic alcohols via the ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropane and aerobic oxidation by photo-irradiation in the presence of an organic pigment. Since gem-difluorinated compounds that were prepared by the present method have two olefinic moieties with a different reactivity at the terminal position, we accomplished the synthesis of four types of gem-difluorinated cyclic alkenols via the ring-closing-metathesis (RCM) reaction.

Abstract
Addition of anhydrous HF to the hydrochloride [MeCAACH][Cl(HCl)0.5] resulted in the formation of salts with high HF content. By stepwise removal of HF in vacuo, we selectively prepared [MeCAACH][F(HF)2] (3) and [MeCAACH][F(HF)3] (4). We also characterised a salt with [F(HF)4]- anions within the structure of [MeCAACH][F(HF)3.5] (5). Compounds with a lower content of HF were not accessible under vacuum conditions. MeCAAC(H)F (1) was selectively prepared by abstraction of HF from 3 with CsF or KF, while [MeCAACH][F(HF)] (2) was prepared by mixing 3 and 1 in a 1 : 1 ratio. Compound 2 proved to be quite unstable as it tends to disproportionate into 1 and 3. This observation triggered our computational study, in which the structural relationships between CAAC-based fluoropyrrolidines and dihydropyrrolium fluorides were investigated using different DFT methods. The study showed that the results were very sensitive to the computational method used. For a correct description, the quality of the triple-ζ basis set was crucial. Surprisingly, the isodesmic reaction of [MeCAACH][F] + [MeCAACH][F(HF)2] → [MeCAACH][F(HF)] + [MeCAACH][F(HF)] did not confirm the low thermodynamic stability of 2. Furthermore, the use of 3 as a nucleophilic fluorinating reagent was tested on a range of organic substrates, as it is the most stable compound in this series. It was found to have the potential to fluorinate benzyl bromides, 1- and 2-alkyl bromides, silanes and sulfonyls with good to excellent yields of the target fluorides.

Abstract
This Perspective surveys the progress and current limitations of nucleophilic fluorination methodologies. Despite the long and rich history of C(sp3)-F bond construction in chemical research, the inherent challenges associated with this transformation have largely constrained nucleophilic fluorination to a privileged reaction platform. In recent years, the Doyle group─along with many others─has pursued the study and development of this transformation with the intent of generating deeper mechanistic understanding, developing user-friendly fluorination reagents, and contributing to the invention of synthetic methods capable of enabling radiofluorination. Studies from our laboratory are discussed along with recent developments from others in this field. Fluoride reagent development and the mechanistic implications of reagent identity are highlighted. We also outline the chemical space inaccessible by current synthetic technologies and a series of future directions in the field that can potentially fill the existing dark spaces.

Abstract
During the last twenty years, organic fluorination chemistry established itself as an important tool to get a biologically active compound. This belief can be supported by the fact that every year, we are getting fluorinated drugs in the market in extremely significant numbers. Last year, also ten fluorinated drugs have been approved by FDA and during the COVID-19 pandemic, fluorinated drugs played a very crucial role to control the disease and saved many lives. In this review, we surveyed all ten fluorinated drugs approved by FDA in 2021 and all fluorinated drugs which were directly-indirectly used during the COVID-19 period, and emphasis has been given particularly to their synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and development process. Out of ten approved drugs, one drug pylarify, a radioactive diagnostic agent for cancer was approved for use in positron emission tomography imaging. Also, very briefly outlined the significance of fluorinated drugs through their physical, and chemical properties and their effect on drug development. Graphical abstract

Abstract
Fluorinated molecules are widely used in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Herein we report the synthesis of 2-(3,3-difluoro-4-(silyloxy)but-1-en-1-yl)benzamides from the unprecedented rhodium(III)-catalyzed alkenylation of various benzamides with difluorohomoallylic silyl ethers. The practicability of this protocol is demonstrated by its broad substrate compatibility, good functional group tolerance, ready scalability and high regioselectivity. The oxygen in difluorohomoallylic silyl ethers makes β-H elimination feasible, which suppresses both the β-F elimination and dialkenylation of benzamides. This redox-neutral reaction proceeds efficiently via N-O bond cleavage without external oxidants and thus provides new opportunities for the synthesis of elaborate difluorinated compounds from readily available fluorinated synthons.

Abstract
A practical electrochemical method for the rapid, safer, and mild synthesis of tertiary hindered alkyl fluorides from carboxylic acids has been developed without the need for hydrofluoric acid salts or non-glass reactors. In this anodic fluorination, collidinium tetrafluoroborate acts as both the supporting electrolyte and fluoride donor. A wide range of functional groups has been shown to be compatible, and the possibility of scale-up using flow electrochemistry has also been demonstrated.

Abstract
In recent years, histone deacetylases (HDACs) have emerged as promising targets in the treatment of cancer. The approach is to inhibit HDACs with drugs known as HDAC inhibitors (HDACis). Such HDACis are broadly classified according to their chemical structure, e.g., hydroxamic acids, benzamides, thiols, short-chain fatty acids, and cyclic peptides. Fluorination plays an important role in the medicinal-chemical design of new active representatives. As a result of the introduction of fluorine into the chemical structure, parameters such as potency or selectivity towards isoforms of HDACs can be increased. However, the impact of fluorination cannot always be clearly deduced. Nevertheless, a change in lipophilicity and, hence, solubility, as well as permeability, can influence the potency. The selectivity towards certain HDACs isoforms can be explained by special interactions of fluorinated compounds with the structure of the slightly different enzymes. Another aspect is that for a more detailed investigation of newly synthesized fluorine-containing active compounds, fluorination is often used for the purpose of labeling. Aside from the isotope 19F, which can be detected by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the positron emission tomography of 18F plays a major role. However, to our best knowledge, a survey of the general effects of fluorination on HDACis development is lacking in the literature to date. Therefore, the aim of this review is to highlight the introduction of fluorine in the course of chemical synthesis and the impact on biological activity, using selected examples of recently developed fluorinated HDACis.

Abstract
A general method for synthesizing optically active, primary, secondary, and tertiary organofluorides was developed. This chiral pool synthesis utilized the skeleton of arabinose to generate diastereomerically pure 2-oxazolidinone-fused aziridines, which underwent ring opening with a fluoride anion. The adducts, polyoxygenated organofluorides, were useful precursors to various fluorinated compounds, such as fluorinated amino acids.

Abstract
The present study examined the regulatory and metabolic response of the aromatic degrader Pseudomonas putida F1 and its tod operon, controlling toluene degradation, to fluorinated aromatic and aliphatic compounds. The tod operon is upregulated by inducer binding to the TodS sensing domain of a two-component regulator. The induced enzymes include toluene dioxygenase that initiates catabolic assimilation of benzenoid hydrocarbons. Toluene dioxygenase was shown to oxidize 6-fluoroindole to a meta-stable fluorescent product, 6-fluoroindoxyl. The fluorescent output allowed monitoring relative levels of tod operon induction in whole cells using microtiter well plates. Mono- and polyfluorinated aromatic compounds were shown to induce toluene dioxygenase, in some cases to a greater extent than compounds serving as growth substrates. Compounds that are oxidized by toluene dioxygenase and undergoing defluorination were shown to induce their own metabolism. 1,2,4-Trifluorobenzene caused significant induction and computational modelling indicated productive binding to the TodS sensor domain of the TodST regulator. Toluene dioxygenase also showed preferential binding of 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene such that defluorination was favoured. Fluorinated aliphatic compounds were shown to induce toluene dioxygenase. An aliphatic ether with seven fluorine atoms, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoro-2-trifluoromethoxy-4-iodobutane (TTIB), was an excellent inducer of toluene dioxygenase activity and shown to undergo transformation in cultures of P. putida F1.

Abstract
An efficacious method for building fluorovinyl spiro-[imidazole-indene] and α-amino-β-naphthalenone skeletons synchronously has been shown to consist of Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H functionalization between 2H-imidazoles and difluoromethylene alkynes. This protocol demonstrates a practical and straightforward route for installing fluorine elements in the envisioned position of heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
[1,2]‐shift of atoms in alkyl fragments belongs to the class of dyotropic rearrangements. Various atoms, including halogens can be involved in the migration, however participation of iodine is unprecedented. Herein, we report our experimental and DFT studies on the oxidation triggered dyotropic rearrangement of iodo and chloro functions via butterfly‐type transition state to demonstrate the migrating ability of λ3‐iodane centre. With the exploitation of dyotropic rearrangement we designed and synthesized a novel fluoroalkyl iodonium reagent from industrial feedstock gas HFO‐1234yf. We demonstrated that the hypervalent reagent serves as an excellent fluoroalkylation agent for various amines and nitrogen heterocycles.

Abstract
Fluorine-containing organoboron compounds have emerged as novel building blocks in chemical synthesis; among them, fluorinated sp2/sp3 diborylated compounds are particularly appealing, since they might undergo chemoselective and diversified transformations of different C-B bonds with fluorinated functionality, thus bringing versatility and complexity to the eventual products. However, expedient, synthetic strategies for the construction of such fluorinated diborylative compounds are very sparse. Herein, we disclose enantioselective Cu-catalyzed sp2/sp3 diborylations of 1-chloro-1-trifluoromethylalkenes, leading to diborylated compounds bearing a gem-difluoroalkenyl moiety; most intriguingly, the new formed C-B bonds include one stereoselective and optically pure Csp3-B bond. Further transformations on the eventual products demonstrated the values of our presented strategy.

Abstract
An efficient and inexpensive protocol for the direct decarboxylative fluorination of aliphatic carboxylic acids catalyzed with iron salts under visible light is presented. This new method allows the facile fluorination of a diverse array of carboxylic acids even on gram scale using a Schlenk flask without loss of efficiency. Mechanistic studies suggest that the photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer process enables the generation of the key step to generate the carboxyl radical intermediates.
