Selective introduction of fluorine: Monofluoromethylation with the fluoromethide equivalent fluorobis(phenylsulfonyl)methane (1) was crucial in the syntheses of the pharmacologically important compounds monofluorinated (S)-ibuprofen ((S)-2) and 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-β-D-carbaribofuranose (3). The key step was a palladium-catalyzed allylic monofluoromethylation reaction.
