Abstract

Deep purplish red semicrystaline precipitates were obtained by the treatment of Cu 2 O with HF. After calcination at 100° C or higher temperature, this compound was successfully used as a highly effective halogen-exchange fluorination reagent for primary alkyl halides in the presence of pyridine derivatives. AgF and a mixture of CuF 2 with copper powder also exhibited high activity in the reaction.
