title: Fluorination of boronic acids mediated by silver(I) triflate.
abstract: A regiospecific Ag-mediated fluorination reaction of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids and esters is reported. The fluorination reaction uses commercially available reagents, does not require the addition of exogenous ligands, and can be performed on a multigram scale. This report discloses the first practical reaction sequence from arylboronic acid to aryl fluorides.
