{2-[(CH3) 2NCH2] C6H4}(n-Bu) 2SnF (1) reacts with various chloroformates, acyl chlorides, methanesulfonyl chloride, 4, 4′-dimethoxytrityl chloride and phosgene precursors or derivatives to form fluorinated analogues. All reactions proceed rapidly and under mild conditions. The use of a catalytic amount of 1 and KF in toluene led to a relatively high yield of a selected fluoroformate.
