Highly regioselective monofluorination of 1-aryl-3-(phenylthio) oxindoles and 2-substituted-3- oxo-4-(phenylthio)-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinolines can be successfully carried out in the presence of Me4NF⊙ 4HF or Et4NF⊙ 3HF as a supporting electrolyte to provide the corresponding 3-fluorinated oxindole and 4-fluorinated isoquinoline derivatives in good yields. Carbon anodes as well as a platinum anode were found to be effective for the ...
