J Org Chem. 2021 May 7;86(9):6066-6074. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.0c02491. Epub 2021 Apr 20.

Abstract

A deoxyfluorination reaction of carboxylic acids using potassium fluoride (KF) and highly electron-deficient fluoroarenes is reported here, giving acyl fluorides in moderate to excellent yield (57-92% based on NMR integration and 34-95% for isolated examples).
