  • Azides are common moieties in chemical synthesis. Here the authors present a methodology to synthesize alkyl azides in one step from simple alcohols under mild conditions.

  • Branched perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid have shorter half-lives, lower toxicity, and weaker serum protein binding than linear ones, offering better environmental and health safety, but methods to access such branched motifs remain underdeveloped. Here, the authors introduce a one-step dehydroxy-perfluoro-tert-butylation of alcohols, in which perfluoro-tertbutyl phenyl sulfone serves both to activate the Cā€“O bond and to deliver the perfluoro-tert-butyl group.

  • A strategy is reported that improves the performance and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries by adding organic Li salt after assembly, which decomposes during cell formation, liberating Li ions and expelling organic ligands as gases.

  • Fluorination of organic molecules can dramatically change the properties and is commonly used for the synthesis of bioactive molecules. Here, the authors report the deoxyfluorination of alcohols and the selective monofluorination of diols using bench stable, tunable difluorocyclopropene reagents.

  • This Primer describes contemporary fluorination and fluoroalkylation reactions in chemical synthesis. The authors describe the main fluorination and fluoroalkylation reactions. The many applications of these reactions in pharmaceuticals, imaging agents and agriculture are discussed, along with the history and future of synthetic organofluorine chemistry.
