Abstract
The methods of the disclosure may be used for the fluorination of organic compounds, and in particular aryl organic compounds other than just benzyl halogens. It is within the scope of the present disclosure, for organic compounds comprising an electrophilic carbon atom and a halogen leaving group to be fluorinated by the methods of the disclosure. One aspect of the disclosure provides methods of introducing a fluorine atom onto an electrophilic carbon atom, comprising mixing an insoluble basic silver salt, an organic molecule containing a leaving group, an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid, and a polar solvent:water composition; incubating said mixture at a temperature of about 20° C. to about 35° C., thereby obtaining a fluorinated organic product.
