Org Lett. 2021 May 21;23(10):4067-4071. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.1c01308. Epub 2021 May 10.

Abstract

A cobalt-catalyzed aminofluorination reaction of styrenes with N-fluorosulfonamides serving as both the amination and fluorination agents has been developed. The switch of selectivity in this catalytic reaction from aminofluorination to diamination could be easily achieved by the addition of 1.0 equiv of PPh3. Both transformations tolerated a wide array of substrates under mild reaction conditions.
