title: Palladium-catalyzed fluorination of carbon-hydrogen bonds.
abstract: This communication describes the development of a new Pd-catalyzed method for the fluorination of carbon-hydrogen bonds. A key step of these transformations involves palladium-mediated carbon-fluorine coupling-a much sought after, but previously unprecedented, transformation. These reactions were successfully achieved under oxidative conditions using electrophilic N-fluoropyridinium reagents. Microwave irradiation in the presence of catalytic palladium acetate served as optimal conditions for the fluorination of C-H bonds in a variety of substituted 2-arylpyridine and 8-methylquinoline derivatives.
