Abstract

Asymmetric synthesis of fluorine-containing compounds using organocatalysts has been extensively investigated and several important strategies have been developed in the last decade. This review focuses on the recent advances in the introduction of the fluorine atom into organic molecules by: i) electrophilic fluorination reactions; ii) the use of easily available fluorine-containing building blocks, both of interest in our research laboratory.
