Arenes substituted with perfluoroalkyl groups are attractive targets for drug and agrochemical development. Exploiting the carbenic character of donor/acceptor diazo compounds, a diversity-oriented synthesis of perfluoroalkylated arenes, for late stage fluorofunctionalization, is described. The reaction of 1-(diazo-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)arenes with HF, F/Br, F₂, CF₃H, and CF₃SH sources give direct access to a variety of perfluoroalkyl-substituted arenes presenting with incremental fluorine content. The value of this approach is also demonstrated for radiochemistry and positron emission tomography with the [¹⁸F]-labeling of CF₃CHF-, CF₃CBrF-, and CF₃CF₂-arenes from [¹⁸F]fluoride.
