In this paper, a convenient anti-Markovnikov iodofluorination of alkenes was described using Selectfluor/(Bu4NI)-Bu-n as the reagent. The reaction showed a broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, and the ability to construct various C-F bonds.
The fluorination of alkenes with electrophilic N-F type reagents usually occurs through a Markovnikov-type addition, and the anti-Markovnikov-type addition may require the use of a transition metal catalyst or an expensive catalyst. Herein we describe a convenient anti-Markovnikov iodofluorination of alkenes with Selectfluor/(Bu4NI)-Bu-n. A wide substrate scope and good functional group tolerance were observed. The process allows for the construction of various C-F bonds, especially tertiary C-F bonds. The remarkable features make this protocol attractive, including convenient operations, simple reaction conditions, and the installation of an iodine atom which provides possibilities for further transformations.
