Abstract

Reaction of various carbonyl compounds with xenon difluoride in the presence of silicon tetrafluoride was investigated. Aromatic aldehyde, ketones, and α-ketoester react with xenon difluoride to give α,α-difluoroalkyl phenyl ethers. However, acid fluoride, ester, acid cyanide, α-ketocarboxylic acid, or thioester do not afford the corresponding products. In the case of cinnamaldehyde, fluorination was accompanied by intramolecular cyclization to afford fluorinated epoxide.
