A novel protocol for the transition metal-free 1,2-addition of polyfluoroaryl boronate esters to aldehydes and ketones is reported, which provides secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, and ketones. Control experiments and DFT calculations indicate that both the ortho-F substituents on the polyfluorophenyl boronates and the counterion K+ in the carbonate base are critical. The distinguishing features of this procedure include the employment of commercially available starting materials and the broad scope of the reaction with a wide variety of carbonyl compounds giving moderate to excellent yields. Intriguing structural features involving O?H???O and O?H???N hydrogen bonding, as well as arene-perfluoroarene interactions, in this series of racemic polyfluoroaryl carbinols have also been addressed.

Irradiation of a cyclohexane solution of hexafluorobenzene in the presence of benzophenone resulted in both, substitution and addition products. Similar photoreaction has been observed by irradiation of hexafluorobenzene in some alcohols in the presence of benzophenone. The reaction of pentafluorobenzene with methanol or cyclohexane resulted in the substitution of a 2-or 4-fluoro atom, while the reaction of pentafluoroanisole resulted in the formation of o-, m- and p-isomers. Irradiation of a cyclohexane solution or of an alcohol solution of octafluoronaphthalene yielded 1- and 2-substituted products. On the other hand, the photosubstitution of fluorine atom in pentafluoropyridine took place exclusively at the position four, thus forming 4-cyclohexyl or 4-(1-hydroxyalkyl) substituted products.
