Abstract
A N-heterocyclic olefin (NHO), a terminal alkene selectively activates aromatic C-F bonds without the need of any additional catalyst. As a result, a straightforward methodology was developed for the formation of different fluoroaryl-substituted alkenes in which the central carbon-carbon double bond is in a twisted geometry.
