posted on 2013-01-07, 00:00 authored by Tian Tian, Wen-He Zhong, Shuai Meng, Xiang-Bao Meng, Zhong-Jun LiA metal-free method for the direct regioselective fluorination
of anilides has been developed. In the presence of bis(tert-butylcarbonyloxy)iodobenzene (PhI(OPiv)2) and hydrogen
fluoride-pyridine, the para-fluorination products
of anilides were obtained in moderate to good yields. Because of its
operational safety and the use of readily available reagents, this
new procedure provides facile access to a variety of para-fluorinated anilides.
