Due to its singularity, fluorine is able to induce significant alterations on key physicochemical properties, such as lipophilicity, electron-density distribution, acid-base properties, hydrogen-bonding capability, and even on conformational equilibria. Nevertheless, fluorine is scarcely found in naturally occurring organic molecules, and the vast majority of fluorine-containing molecules are synthetic. Therefore, the development of new practical methodologies for the generation of fluorine-containing organic frameworks, either by site selective fluorination reactions or yielding them from simple fluorinated building blocks, is of great interest to the synthetic community. On this basis, the present thesis discloses a novel series of synthetic methodologies based on transition metal catalysis, ultimately establishing organofluorine chemistry as their top benchmark application. Herein, we disclose the discovery of the beneficial effect of 1,7-octadiene on assisting enyne metathesis reactions, the generation of a new family of fluorinated α-amino acid derivatives by means of gold- catalysis and the development of two new methodologies for the enantioselective palladium-catalyzed 1,1-difunctionalization of terminal alkenes, including a selective electrophilic fluorination reaction. Resumen A lo largo de las últimas décadas, los compuestos organofluorados han encontrado numerosas aplicaciones dentro del campo de las industrias farmacéutica y agroquímica, así como en ciencias de los materiales. Dadas las singulares propiedades del átomo de flúor, éste es capaz de inducir alteraciones significativas en propiedades físico-químicas de las moléculas como lipofilia, distribución de cargas, acidez-basicidad, capacidad de formar enlaces de hidrógeno e incluso, equilibrios conformacionales. Sin embargo, la presencia de flúor en productos naturales es escasa. De hecho, la gran mayoría de las moléculas orgánicas que contienen flúor son sintéticas. De ahí el gran interés por parte de la comunidad sintética en el desarrollo de nuevas metodologías para la introducción de flúor en moléculas orgánicas, bien sea mediante reacciones de fluoración selectivas sobre posiciones específicas de la molécula, o bien mediante el empleo de building blocks fluorados, y así construir la nueva molécula alrededor de estos sillares. En este contexto, en la presente tesis doctoral se describe el desarrollo de nuevas metodologías sintéticas catalizadas por complejos de metales de transición, estableciendo la química de flúor como el principal marco de aplicación de dichas metodologías. El descubrimiento del efecto beneficioso del empleo de 1,7-octadieno en reacciones de metátesis de eninos, la generación de una nueva familia de derivados fluorados de α-aminoácidos mediante catálisis con complejos de oro, así como el desarrollo de dos nuevas metodologías sintéticas para la 1,1-difuncionalización enantioselectiva de alquenos terminales, incluyendo una nueva reacción de fluoración electrofílica selectiva, serán objeto de discusión en la presente memoria.
