Abstrakt: Development of an efficient process that employs commercially available and cost effective reagents for the synthesis of perfluoroalkoxylated aromatic compounds (Ar-OR F ) remains a daunting challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we report the first catalytic protocol using readily available perfluoroalkyl iodides (R F I) and N -(hetero)aryl- N -hydroxylamides to access a wide range of perfluoroalkoxylated (hetero)arenes. Mild reaction conditions allow for selective O-R F bond formation over a broad substrate scope and are tolerant of a wide variety of functional groups. Mechanistic studies suggest the formation and recombination of persistent N -hydroxyl radicals and transient R F radicals under photocatalytic reaction conditions to generate N-OR F compounds that rearrange to afford the desired products.
