In recent years, acyl fluorides have received a great deal of attention in organic chemistry. Among carboxylic acid derivatives, acyl fluorides display a good balance between stability and reactivity due to their moderate electrophilicity. They are easily prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acids and can be used without any special precautions against moisture. In this review, we describe the recent progress of transformation with acyl fluorides: Lewis base-assisted reactions and transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. The reactions with Lewis base proceeded well to provide a variety of acyl compounds such as lactones, and ketones, etc. In addition, transition-metal-catalyzed transformation gave the corresponding acyl compounds or decarbonylative compounds such as ketones and biaryls, etc.
