N -Fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) analogs with deprotectable substituents: synthesis of β-fluoroamines via catalytic aminofluorination of styrenes.

The palladium-catalyzed aminofluorination of styrenes using novel N -fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) derivatives with deprotectable substituents, and the selective deprotection and transformation of the resulting products into amines under mild reaction conditions are herein disclosed.
