Electrochemical partial fluorination of phenylacetic acids esters and 1-tetralone

The effect of substituents and operating conditions on the electrochemical fluorination of alkyl phenylacetates in Et3N·4HF medium

“…Even with this powerful fluorinating agent, the yield obtained was around 56% [4]. Quite recently Yoneda co-workers have reported 17% yield during the selective electrochemical fluorination of ethyl phenylacetate in dichloromethane using different supporting electrolytes [11]. A brief report by Cao and Fuchigami is also available [12].…”

“…F and 1 H NMR spectral data of fluorinated phenylacetic acid and its derivatives obtained during anodic fluorination of 1a-f[11,25] …”

A comparative study of anodic fluorination of N-alkyl and N,N-dialkyl phenylacetamides in Et3N·4HF medium

“…Stereo selectivity in such processes has also been reported for esters and amides [15,16]. Anodic fluorination of alkyl phenylacetates was studied by Yoneda et al in dichloromethane containing Et 3 N Á nHF, Et 4 NF Á mHF and Et 4 N Á BF 4 [17]. Shainyan et al employed anhydrous hydrofluoric acid for the anodic fluorination of benzamide and acetanilide [18].…”

Galvanostatic and potentiostatic fluorination of 2-indanone, 1-indanone and 1,3-indandione in Et3N · 4HF medium. Adsorption effects on yield and product selectivity

“…1-Indanone and 2-indanone have also been chemically fluorinated using inorganic fluorinating agents, namely XeF 2 and CsSO 4 F [5]. Brief reports on chemical [6] as well as electrochemical fluorination [7] of tetralone are also available.…”
