摘要

Monofluoroalkoxy group (OCHF), despite their significance in pharmaceutically relevant molecules, have received less attention compared to other fluoroalkoxy moieties. In this work, we introduce a novel benzoimidazolium salt-based reagent for the photocatalytic radical monofluoromethoxylation of alkenes, enabling the synthesis of a wide range of alkenyl- and allylic monofluoromethyl ethers. This mild and scalable method exhibits broad functional group tolerance and is applicable to diverse molecular frameworks. The strategy is also effective for late-stage monofluoromethoxylation of complex molecules derived from drugs and natural products.
