Organofluorine chemistry is a fascinating research field in rapid expansion. Beyond the strong interest that represent fluorinated molecules in materials science, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and modern drug design, innovation is still required to push further the boundaries of knowledge in this appealing research field and achieve new synthetic challenges. By combining homogeneous catalysis with emergent fluorinated groups, our group has developed innovative synthetic methods to access high-added-value organofluorinated molecules. This talk will provide an overview of our journey in this research field.
