“…In some cases, an S N 1 pathway is observed. 17h Deoxyfluorination and dethiofluorination can be accomplished with several different fluoride sources beyond DAST: pyridinium poly(hydrogen fluoride) (Olah's reagent), 13a,b,13d nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate/pyridinium poly(hydrogen fluoride), 13c triethylamine tris(hydrogen fluoride) (TREAT•HF), 13e perfluoro-1-butanesulfonyl fluoride (PBSF), 19 sulfonyl fluoride/TREAT•HF mixture (Scheme 1), 20 Yarovenko's reagent, 21 Ishikawa's reagent, 22 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-N,N-dimethylamine (TFEDMA), 23 N, N′-dimethyl-2,2,-difluoroimidazolidine, 12a 4-morpholinosulfur trifluoride, 11d,24 Deoxo-Fluor®, 11f,25 and 4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimethylphenylsulfur trifluoride. 26 Deoxo-Fluor® is a safer, more thermally stable alternative to DAST but exhibits moisture sensitivity and violent decomposition similar to DAST to generate toxic HF.…”
