Highly regioselective anodic monofluorination of benzyl thiocyanate and its
derivatives was successfully carried out at a platinum anode in acetonitri
le using Et3N . 5HF as a supporting electrolyte and a fluorine source to pr
ovide the corresponding alpha-fluorinated products in moderate to good yiel
ds. It was also found that the fluorinated product yield was affected signi
ficantly by supporting fluoride salts and temperature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sc
