Reaction Steps

Under a protective gas atmosphere 0.83 g (6.8 mmol) of 1-phenylethanol is added dropwise in the course of 5 min to a solution of 2.32 g (7.56 mmol) of i-Prop2N═CHF+HF2−.HNEt3+.HF2− in 10 ml of CH2Cl2 in a polyethylene container. The mixture is stirred for several hours at 20° C. and the conversion rate is analysed by 19F-NMR (reference: PhCF3). After 2.5 h, 81% of 1-fluoroethylbenzene is obtained, and after a stirring time of 24 h, 96% of product is obtained.
