Abstract
A semi-molten mixture of tetrabutylammonium bromide and an alkali meta l fluoride (KF or CsF) has been found to be an efficient reagent syste m for the preparation of organofluorine compounds, e.g., CH3(CH2)(7)F, CH2=CH-CH2F, FCH2CO2C2H5, C6H5COF, and related compounds through faci le fluoride-ion exchange with organohalides. The system provides a sim ple and convenient alternative to 'anhydrous' tetrabutylammonium fluor ide for the synthesis of oragnofluorine compounds.
