Cyanuric fluoride (2) is one of the most popular fluorinating agents in org
anic chemistry. The title compound could be prepared in a 50 to 100 g scale
by means of a chlorine fluorine exchange, the process was characterized by
a simple preparation procedure, cheap reactants and a low time exposure. C
arboxylic acids were converted into the corresponding acid fluorides 4a-g u
sing cyanuric fluoride. A nonaqueous work-up led to high yields on synthesi
zing a range of functionalized acid fluorides.
