Recent Advances in the Synthesis of Acyl Fluorides

Abstract

Acyl fluorides are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis. They are increasingly employed in peptide synthesis, in challenging esterification and amidation reactions or in transition-metal-catalyzed transformations. This review summarizes recent advances in their preparation.
