Abstract

The combination of hydrogen fluoride salt and porous aluminium fluoride (MHF–AlF)(M= alkali metal) is a stable and efficient solid reagent for promoting the ring-opening reaction of simple aliphatic oxiranes to give the fluorohydrins under sonication, as a substitute for anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.
