Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(00)00154-X

In an effort to prepare new fluorine-containing molecules as analogues of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs), the indirect electrochemical reduction, by means of an aromatic anion mediator, of perfluoroalkyl halides in the presence of purine and indolyl anion
