Abstract

The copper-catalyzed H-F insertion into α-diazocarbonyl compounds is described using potassium fluoride (KF) and hexafluoroisopropanol. Access to complex α-fluorocarbonyl derivatives is achieved under mild conditions, and the method is readily adapted to radiofluorination with [18F]KF. This late-stage strategy provides an attractive route to 18F-labeled biomolecules.
