Abstract: The review highlights recent advancements in the synthesis of α-fluoro and α,α-
difluoroalkylated azines, focusing on two main approaches. The first approach involves nucleophilic
deoxofluorination, wherein α-hydroxy- or α-oxoalkylated azines are treated with
diethylaminosulfur trifluoride or other S-F reagents to introduce fluorine atoms. The second
approach employs direct electrophilic benzylic fluorination, whereby alkylazines undergo
fluorination using N-F reagents. Both methods provide flexibility in designing and synthesizing
fluoroalkylated heterocycles.
