Alcohol to Fluoride
Common Conditions:
DAST
DAST is a nucleophilic fluorinating reagent. Reaction conditions with alcohols are mild, typically 0 C to RT (-78 C for more reactive substrates). DAST can be unstable if heated (possible detonation at >90 C). The solvent of choice is usually DCM.[1][2][3]
Deoxo-Fluor
Deoxo-Fluor is a nucleophilic fluorinating reagent with similar and, in some cases, superior reactivity to DAST. Deoxo-Fluor is more thermally stable than DAST.[3]
