Abstract

Abstract The use of sulfolane as a solvent instead of acetonitrile in the electrofluorination of benzylic derivatives1,(R= H, Cl) gives greater yields of benzylic fluorides 2, since the formation of acetamido byproducts 4 is prevented. However, the parallel fluorination of the aromatic nucleus is not avoided under these conditions.
