Asymmetric nucleophilic fluorination under hydrogen bonding phase-transfer catalysis

Common anionic nucleophiles such as those derived from inorganic salts have not been used for enantioselective catalysis because of their insolubility. Here, we report that merging hydrogen bonding and phase-transfer catalysis provides an effective mode of activation for nucleophiles that are insolu...
