Herein, we report a highly effective protocol for the cross-coupling of (hetero)aryl bromides with fluorinated alcohols using the commercially available precatalyst t BuBrettPhos Pd G3 and Cs 2 CO 3 in toluene. This Pd-catalyzed coupling features a short reaction time, excellent functional group tolerance, and compatibility with electron-rich and -poor (hetero)arenes. The method provides access to 18 F-labeled trifluoroethyl ethers by cross-coupling with [ 18 F]trifluoroethanol.
