Synthesis of fluorinated aryl ethers via selective C-F functionalization with polyfluorobenzenes and carbonates under mild conditions

A facile and efficient method to synthesize fluorinated aryl ethers with polyfluorobenzenes and carbonates without metal catalyst has been developed. Selective C-F bond and aryl fragment of carbonate participate in the reaction. The desired products were obtained in moderate to excellent yields with good substrates compatibility.
