The unique properties conferred by the incorporation of fluorine into organic molecules has resulted in the widespread use of organofluorine compounds in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. In contrast, organofluorine compounds are exceedingly rare in nature. The dearth of chiral pool organofluorine compounds necessitates the development of stereoselective methods for the incorporation of carbon–fluorine bonds into organic molecules. A wide variety of catalytic, enantioselective fluorination methods have been developed to address this challenge, including Lewis acid catalysis, organocatalysis, transition metal catalysis, and phase transfer catalysis. Using these methods, carbonyl compounds, alkenes, allylic electrophiles, aziridines, and epoxides have been engaged in catalytic, enantioselective fluorination reactions. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the methods available for the catalytic, enantioselective construction of carbon–fluorine bonds and is subdivided into electrophilic and nucleophilic fluorination reactions. The chapter also provides a comparison with diastereoselective transformations and enantioselective functionalization reactions of fluorinated substrates.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
