Asymmetric fluorination reactions promoted by chiral hydrogen bonding‐based organocatalysts

Fluorinated compounds can exhibit interesting biological properties. The importance of these species has made that the chemistry of fluorine has experienced a great development. On this review, the recent advances on asymmetric fluorination reactions promoted by chiral hydrogen bonding‐based organocatalysts are discussed. Hence, examples using phosphoric acid, carboxylic acid, (thio)urea and squaramide derivatives are illustrated. The growth of this field is amazing. We have only considered pivotal works in which direct fluorination takes place using a fluorinating agent, leaving aside the reactions where a fluorine atom is incorporated from the beginning as part of other reactants. Herein, the scarce existing examples on this field of research have been compiled.The authors thank Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (MINECO‐FEDER CTQ2016‐75816‐C2‐1‐P, CTQ2017‐88091‐P and PID2019‐104379RB‐C21) and Gobierno de Aragón‐Fondo Social Europeo (Research Group E07_20R) for financial support of our research.Peer reviewe
