Article Description

Recent advances in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/photoredox catalyzed acylation have underlined the special reactivity of acyl fluoride compared with other acyl halides. Though safer and more convenient, acyl chloride is rarely used with NHC in known references. In a recent work, Studer et al. confirmed that acyl chloride and bromide are inactive in NHC/photoredox acylation, yet reason remains unknown. Herein, computational results showed that [1,2]-fluorine migration intermediate should be responsible for the unique role of acyl fluoride.
