Abstract
A practical, high-yielding method for the deoxyfluorination of alcohols is presented using AlkylFluor, a novel salt analogue of PhenoFluor. AlkylFluor is readily prepared on multigram scale and is stable to long-term storage in air and exposure to water. The practicality and applicability of this method is demonstrated with a variety of primary and secondary alcohol substrates.
