The 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethylene unit is prevalent in bioactive molecules and functional materials. Despite being in principle a straightforward strategy to access this motif, the direct tetrafluorination of alkynes involves very hazardous or inconvenient reagents. Therefore, safer and convenient alternatives are sought after. We developed a mild and operationally simple perfluorination method converting 1-alkynyl triazenes into 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro alkyl triazenes, employing cheap and readily accessible reagents. Moreover, a judicious tuning of the reaction conditions enables access to a-difluoro triazenyl ketones. Complementary, electrophilic fluorination of alkynyl triazenes gives rise to the regioisomeric a-difluoro acyl triazenes. These three chemo- and regio-divergent protocols enable access to elusive fluorinated 1- alkyl and 1-acyl triazenes, thus expanding the chemical space for these unusual entities. Furthermore, several reaction intermediates and side products revealed insights on the reaction pathways that may be useful for further fluorination chemistry of alkynes.
