Abstract

The fluorination of 9, 10-dihydroanthracene and triptycene with xenon difluoride in the presence of hydrogen fluoride occurred at α and β position with β attack predominating over α attack, while the reaction with acenaphthene resulted in the formation of 2-and 4- fluorosubstituted products, regioselectivity being very little affected by the nature of the catalyst: hydrogen fluoride, boron trifluoride and pentafluorothiophenol. The fluorination of ...
