α-Fluoro-α′-aryl ketones are crucial in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, synthesizing unsymmetrical α-fluoro-α′-aryl poses regioselective challenges. This study presents a one-pot aryl-oxy-fluorination method for such fluoro-aryl ketones.

Conventional gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have many limitations, such as aggregation and subsequent precipitation in the medium of high ionic strength protein molecules. Furthermore, when exposed to biological fluids, form a corona, which controls different processes circulation lifetime, drug release profile, biodistribution, vivo cellular distribution. These limitations reduce functionality Au NPs targeted delivery, bioimaging, gene other biomedical applications. To circumvent these...
