Cesium fluonde

The use of cesium fluoride is limited because of its cost and its availability as a truly anhydrous reagent. Its use with 18-crown-6 shows a 5 times higher rate for the formation of benzyl fluoride from benzyl bromide when compared with cesium fluonde or potassium fluoride supported on calcium fluoride [21] Either cesium fluoride or potassium fluoride supported on calcium fluoride (Procedures 5a and 5b, p 194) provides about a twofold improvement over either unsupported alkali metal fluoride [55, 69], Cesium fluoride and Aliquat 336 convert benzyl bromide to the fluoride in 94% yield. Using tetrabuty lammonium fluoride in place of Aliquat... 

The effectiveness of various sources of fluoride ion in the displacement of the trifluoromethanesulfonic group has been demonstrated while introducing a fluorine atom into the five-membered carbocyclic ring of a prostaglandin precursor Treat tnent of the corresponding triflyl derivative with potassium fluoride in acetonitrile or with cesium fluonde in refluxing diinethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoric... 

The enolate of dimethyl trifluoromethylmalonate, formed by the action of cesium fluonde [II9] or of an electrolytically generated pyrrolidone anion [120], can be alkylated with methyl iodide (equation 103)... 

Perfluoropyridine gives the usual replacement of the 4-fluonne on reactions with either aromatic or aliphatic mercaptides [55, 36] The reaction of perfluoropyridine with cesium tnfluoromethyl mercaptide, generated from thiocarbonyl fluoride and cesium fluonde, shows temperature dependence of selectivity in fluonne displacement [55 36] (equation 24)... 

Cesium fluonde in dimethylformamide catalyzes the isomerization offluori-nated cyclobutenes, perfluorobipyntmdines, and their oligomers to products with expanded rings [30, 31, 32] The product distribution in cobalt tnfluonde fluorina-tion depends strongly on the temperature of the reaction [33] Fluorinated 1-dimethylamino-5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-l,4-dihydro-l,4-ethenonaphthalene rearranges in protic media to a biphenyl derivative [34] (equation 8)... 

Carbon-nitrogen multiple bonds in fluorinated imines and nitriles react with halogen fluoride reagents Imines provide At-chloroamines on reaction with chio rine fluonde [62, 121,122,123] (equations 23 and 24) or with cesium fluoride and chlorine [124] and / -bromoamines on reaction with cesium fluonde and bromine (equation 24)...
