Abstract
While many carboxylic acids could be converted directly to acyl fluorides by using BrF3, the reaction with acyl chlorides was found to be of a more general nature and yields better results. Surprisingly, reacting t-butyl esters with bromine trifluoride also resulted in acyl fluorides in reasonable yields. The reactions were completed in a few seconds at 0 °C.
Graphical abstractCarboxylic acids, acyl chlorides and t-butyl esters can be readily converted to the corresponding acyl fluorides by a fast reaction with BrF3. Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
