Unlike the well-established fluoroalkylation, the direct incorporation of multiple fluorine atoms into small molecules via iterative fluorinations has been much less investigated. Herein, we report a hypervalent iodine catalytically selective multi-fluorination in which the fluorination degree is controlled by the delicate balance between the HF/amine ratios. The pros and cons of hypervalent iodine catalysis and the previously established electrochemical approach in the iterative multi-fluorinations are also provided.
