Bis(2-methoxyethyl)aminosulfur trifluoride (Deoxo-Fluor(TM)) is effective f
or the conversion of alcohols to alkyl fluorides, aldehydes/ketones to the
corresponding gem-difluorides and also for the transformation of carboxylic
acids to their trifluoromethyl derivatives; it is a less thermally sensiti
ve, broader-spectrum alternative to the traditional dialkylaminosulfur trif
luoride (DAST) deoxofluorination reagents.
