Selective elemental fluorination in ionic liquids

Selective elemental fluorination in ionic liquids (ILs) will be presented as a new methodology. The tested reagents are organic disulphides and organic iodides. In addition, the stabilities of the ionic liquids [EMIM][(C2F5)3PF3], [BMPL][(C2F5)3PF3], [BMPL][OTf] and [BMPL][B(CN)4] against diluted fluorine (5 vol% in nitrogen) are investigated.
