Enormous attention has been paid to the fluorine-containing organic molecules in the field of medicinal, pharmaceutical, and material chemistry since fluorine or fluoroalkyl substituents incorporated into organic molecules often affect their chemical as well as physical properties. Therefore, significant effort has been devoted to the development of effective synthetic methods for organofluorine compounds. Recently, we have developed a regioselective synthetic method for perfluoroalkyl-substituted condensed polycyclic aromatic compounds, e.g. anthracenes, pentacenes, and pentaphenes. This article describes the effective introduction of perfluoroalkyl substituents into the condensed polycyclic aromatic compounds in a regioselective manner. In addition, evaluation of physical properties of the fluorine-containing pentacenes is described as well.
