RINGFLUORIERUNG VON NICHT-AKTIVIERTEN AROMATISCHEN VERBINDUNGEN

摘要

Unsubstituted aromatic compounds and aromatic compounds having one or more electron-withdrawing substituents are fluorinated, preferably in a nitromethane solvent, by contact with tri(halo- or trifluoromethyl) substituted N-fluorotriazinium salts of the following Formula I: wherein three A moieties are independently CR, where each R is independently halogen or trifluoromethyl; two A moieties are independently Z, where each Z is independently nitrogen or a quaternary nitrogen atom and Y is a counterion or group of counterions which are inert to chemical attack by fluorine. Preferably the cation of the salt is 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazinium.
