TI - Cleaving Carbon–Carbon Bonds by the Release of Trifluoroacetate to Remodel Molecules and Assemble Fluorinated Structures SN - 0936-5214 SN - 1437-2096 PY - 2012 JO - Synlett JF - Synlett LA - EN VL - 23 IS - 11 SP - 1559 EP - 1563 ET - 2012/06/11 DA - 2012/06/21 KW - bond cleavage KW - fluorine KW - medicinal chemistry KW - natural products KW - trifluoroacetate AB - Cleaving carbon–carbon bonds is a significant synthetic challenge. The release of trifluoroacetate presents a powerful force to break these strong bonds. Herein, a brief review of the role of the release of trifluoroacetate in remodeling organic molecules and synthesizing fluorinated compounds is presented.
