An oxidative coupling reaction of fluoroalkylamines with arylboronic acids has been achieved for the first time. Fluorine has profound influence on the reactivity and fluoroalkylated amines have the following reactivity trend: difluoroethylamine > trifluoroethylamine > pentafluoropropylamine ≈ heptafluorobutylamine.
