Photocatalytic fluoroalkyl radical-initiated construction of fluorinated heterocycles: mechanisms and applications Fluorine-containing heterocycles hold exceptional value across pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science owing to fluorine's distinctive electronic effects, lipophilicity, and capacity to ...

This review consolidates progress since 2018, systematically dissecting the mechanisms of photocatalytic fluoroalkyl radical-driven formation of five-, six-, and seven-membered fluorinated heterocycles.
