Procedure

A solution of 0.77 g (5 mmol) of 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol in 15 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise over a period of 10 min to a stirred solution of 2.0 g (7.8 mmol) of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethoxysulfur trifluoride in 5 ml of methylene chloride cooled to 10°. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and then evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from pentane to give 0.59 g (76% ) of 4-nitrobenzyl fluoride as colorless needles: mp 33° to 34°. Recrystallization from pentane raised the melting point to 36° to 37°.
