Organic Halides or Polyhalides with Inorganic Fluorides

All replacement reactions of this type must be carried out under completely anhydrous conditions. The fficulty of removing the last traces of water from oxygen compoimds, and the possibility of producing water by decomposition, account for the fact that it is often difficult to utilize halogen compounds which contain oxygen in the molecule.
