| Abstract
| - In the present work, the electrophile equivalents Cl+, Br+, SCN+, and NO2+ are generated fromtheir respective sodium, potassium, and in some cases ammonium salts (M+X-) by reaction withSelectfluor electrophilic fluorination agent in acetonitrile solution at room temperature. Thesegenerated electrophilic species subsequently react in situ with a variety of aromatic substratescontaining one or more substituent groups including H, F, Cl, CH3, COOH, C(O)CH3, NO2, andOR‘ and NR‘R‘ ‘ where R‘ and R‘ ‘ are H or CH3. The resulting substitution products are, in mostcases, isolable as pure compounds in high yield. Variations in the process include the use of otheranions, electrophilic fluorination agents, and solvents.
