Summary and Outlook Significant advances in transition-metal-mediated nucleophilic fluorination of poorly activated substrates. Important breakthroughs: Site-selective Late-Stage Deoxyfluorination Pd(0)/Pd(II)-catalyzed nucleophilic fluorination. Selective fluorination of simple hydrocarbons Tsuji-Trost type allylic fluorination F + sources are commercially available, more expensive than fluoride reagents. Nucleophilic F-sources Electrophilic F-sources Electrophilic fluorinating reagents are much less desirable than fluoride for PET imaging applications, because 18F - has significantly higher specific activity than 18F + precursors. 18
