Added on:
9 Jun, 2009

The safe and reliable use of various fluorination methods including nucleophilic fluorination (DAST), trifluoromethylation (Ruppert’s reagent) and electrophilic fluorination (Selectfluor®) in a continuous-flow microreactor is reported. Special attention was given to the use of in-line scavenging procedures in order to obtain clean products without the need for further purification.
