Treatment of readily available 伪,伪-difluoro- and 伪-fluoroarylacetic acids with Selectfluor under Ag(I) catalysis led to decarboxylative fluorination. This operationally simple reaction gave access to tri- and difluoromethylarenes applying a late-stage fluorination strategy. Translation to [18F]labeling is demonstrated using [18F]Selectfluor bis(triflate), a reagent affording [18F]tri- and [18F]difluoromethylarenes not within reach with [18F]F2.
