Abstract

Two methods of nucleophilic fluorination to prepare α-fluoroacetophenones from α- bromoacetophenones by using KF with PEG-400 or TBAF with ZnF2 are described. On the fundamental of nucleophilic fluorination, a novel method of one-pot fluorination to prepare α- fluoroacetophenones directly from acetophenones in DES was developed.
