Abstract

During the past few years, the HOF ‚CH3CN complex has proven to be one of the best oxygen-transfer agents organic chemistry has to offer. This feature arises from the nature of the OF bond where the oxygen is bonded to the most electronegative fluorine, turning it into a very strong electrophile indeed. The complex is easily prepared by bubbling either a commercial or a self-prepared mixture of 10-15% F2 in nitrogen through aqueous ...
