title: Copper-mediated fluoroalkylation of aryl iodides enables facile access to diverse fluorinated compounds: the important role of the (2-pyridyl)sulfonyl group.
abstract: The (2-pyridyl)sulfonyl group was found to be a multifunctional group in the preparation of structurally diverse fluorinated products. It not only facilitates the copper-mediated (or catalyzed) cross-coupling reaction between α-fluoro sulfone 4a and aryl iodides, but also enables further transformations of the coupling products 2.
