Abstract

Synthetic methods, especially those that use bromine trifluoride as a fluorinating agent, are described for the preparation of a number of fluorinated ethyl methyl ethers in good yield and high purity. In all cases, medium-scale syntheses (8–22g) of potentially anesthetic compounds have been accomplished. The compounds are of sufficient purity (> 99%) for biological evaluation.
