Abstract

A new protocol for titrating nonstabilized diazoalkane solutions by quantitative 19F NMR is reported. An excess of 2-fluorobenzoic acid dissolved in CDCl3 is treated with the diazoalkane solution at a low temperature, immediately forming the corresponding 2- fluorobenzoate ester upon warming. A significant difference in the 19F chemical shift between the ester and acid is seen, allowing facile and accurate integration to determine ...
