PhenoFluor: Practical synthesis, new formulation, and deoxyfluorination of heteroaromatics

Abstract

We report a practical synthesis method of the reagent PhenoFluor on decagram scale, provide a new formulation of PhenoFluor as a toluene solution, which should decrease challenges associated with the moisture sensitivity of the reagent, and expand the substrate scope of deoxyfluorination with PhenoFluor to heteroaromatics. © 2014 American Chemical Society.
