Fluoroalkylated aromatic compounds have properties such as permeability, lipophilicity and metabolic stability. Considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of efficient methods for incorporation of the fluoroalkyl group into aromatic frameworks. However, many commonly used fluoroalkylating reagents are expensive or operationally inconvenient, and some of them require multistep syntheses.
