Abstract
This review aims at providing an overview of the most significant applications of fluorine-containing ligands reported in the literature starting from 2001 until mid-2021. The ligands are classified according to the nature of the donor atoms involved. This review highlights both metal-ligand interactions and the structure-reactivity relationships resulting from the presence of the fluorine atom or fluorine-containing substituents on chiral catalysts.

Abstract
Aryl trifluoromethyl diazomethanes 2‐R (R=Ph, OMe, CF3) are readily decomposed by the (o‐carboranyl)diphosphine gold(I) complex 1. The resulting α‐CF3 substituted carbene complexes 3‐R have been characterized by multi‐nuclear NMR spectroscopy as well as X‐ray crystallography (for 3‐Ph). The bonding situation was thoroughly assessed by computational means, showing stabilization of the electrophilic carbene center by π‐donation from the aryl substituent and backdonation from Au, as enhanced by the chelating P^P ligand. Reactivity studies under stoichiometric and catalytic conditions substantiate typical carbene‐type behavior for 3‐Ph.

Abstract
Optically active organosilanes have been demonstrated to be versatile chiral reagents in synthetic chemistry since the early seminal contributions by Sommer and Corriu. Among these silicon-containing chiral architectures, monohydrosilanes, which bear a Si-H bond, hold a unique position because of their facile transformations through stereospecific Si-carbon or Si-heteroatom bond-formation reactions. In addition, those compounds have also been leveraged as chiral reagents for alcohol resolution, chiral auxiliaries, mechanistic probes, as well as potential optoelectronic materials. This Minireview comprehensively summarizes the synthesis and synthetic applications of silicon-stereogenic monohydrosilanes, particularly the advances in the transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of this class of functional molecules.

Abstract
As one of the abundant and inexpensive metals on the earth, copper has demonstrated broad applications in synthetic chemistry and catalysis. Among these copper-catalyzed advances, copper carbenes are versatile and reactive intermediates that can mediate a variety of transformations, which have attracted much attention in the past decades. The present review summarizes two different reaction models that take place between a copper carbene intermediate and alkyne species, including the cross-coupling reaction of copper carbene intermediate with terminal alkyne, and the addition of copper carbene intermediate onto the C–C triple bond. This article will cover the profile from 2010 to 2021 by placing emphasis on the detailed catalytic models and highlighting the synthetic applications offered by these practical and mild methods.

Aryl trifluoromethyl diazoalkanes and diazirines have become unique as reactants in synthetic methodology. As privileged compounds containing CF3 groups and ease of synthetic access, aryl trifluoromethyl diazoalkanes and diazirines have been highlighted for their versatility in applications toward a wide range of synthetic transformations. This Perspective highlights the synthetic applications of these reactants as precursors of stabilized metal carbenes, i.e., donor-acceptor-substituted ones.

Abstract
An efficient route for the synthesis of 1-aryl-2,2-difluoroalkenes via 1,2-desilylative defluorination is disclosed. Only a catalytic amount of fluoride source is required to initiate the desilylation and afford gem-difluoroalkenes in very good to quantitative yields, using mild reaction conditions in dimethyl carbonate as a green solvent. This reaction uses (1-aryl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-silanes, which are easily prepared via the insertion reaction of trifluoroethyl diazo alkanes into the Si-H bond of tertiary organosilanes. (1-Aryl)-perfluoroalkyl-silanes cleanly afford the corresponding (Z)-1-benzylideneperfluoroalkanes, which upon hydrodefluorination furnish the (E)-β(perfluoroalkyl)styrene derivatives with excellent yield and complete stereoselectivity. A one-pot system involving sequential insertion and desilylative-defluorination is also suitable for this transformation. This method demonstrates the usefulness of organosilanes toward the preparation of fluorinated alkenes as synthetically useful targets.

Abstract
A highly enantioselective Si-H bond insertion reaction of α-aryldiazoacetates catalyzed by chiral spiro dirhodium tetraphosphate was developed. Various chiral α-silyl esters were prepared with high yield (up to 92%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) through this protocol. It is noteworthy that the 2-substituted aryl diazoacetates, which are challenging substrates for other chiral dirhodium catalysts, also exhibited good results in this reaction. This work represents one of the few successful applications of chiral dirhodium phosphates in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Herein, we report on the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of trifluoromethylated, tetrasubstituted allenes from vinyl bromides and trifluoromethylated diazoalkanes in good to excellent yield. This reaction proceeds via oxidative addition of a Pd(0) complex with vinyl bromide. Subsequent base-promoted reductive elimination generates the allene. This methodology provides an efficient strategy even on gram scale to valuable trifluoromethylated, tetrasubstituted allenes under mild reaction conditions. The allene products can be used in acid catalyzed cyclization reactions to give trifluoromethylated indene products.

Abstract
In this Letter, we describe a simple, practical approach in which cheap CuI was used as a catalyst to introduce a gem-difluoro olefin onto simple electron-rich aniline derivatives in good yield via direct C-H functionalization and a subsequent HF elimination reaction. Detailed mechanistic studies point at a dual role of aniline derivatives in this reaction, which serve as a substrate and a basic promoter to trigger the HF elimination step.
