title: Intermolecular radical carbofluorination of non-activated alkenes.
abstract: The Meerwein arylation has recently become an even more powerful tool for the functionalization of alkenes. Besides the attachment of an aryl group, radical reactions of this type allow the introduction of several different heteroatoms and a broad variety of alkenes are meanwhile tolerated as substrates. Closing a long-standing gap of the methodology, this communication describes the first intermolecular Meerwein-type carbofluorination. In metal-free reactions, arylalkyl fluorides were obtained from arylhydrazines and alkenes with Selectfluor acting as oxidant and as radical fluorine source.
