Abstract
Abstract A semi-molten mixture of tetrabutylammonium bromide and an alkali metal fluoride (KF or CsF) has been found to be an efficient reagent system for the preparation of organofluorine compounds, e.g., CH 3 (CH 2 ) 7 F, CH 2 =CH-CH 2 F, FCH 2 CO 2 C 2 H 5 , C 6 H 5 COF, and related compounds through facile fluoride-ion exchange with organohalides. The system provides a simple and convenient alternative to ‘anhydrous’ tetrabutylammonium fluoride for the synthesis of oragnofluorine compounds.
