In summary, we have prepared and characterized the novel
N–F reagent
2 derived from the ethylene-bridged Tröger base.
This reagent was found to be a competent F+ source, more
reactive than Selectfluor, and of similar reactivity to
pentachloropyridinium triflate. Moreover, we present the first
1J(F-N) coupling constants for eight N–F reagents inclusive of
2, a
set of data serving as a new signature for the N–F bond. This
study opens the door towards asymmetric fluorination since
the ethylene-bridged Tröger's base is a chiral molecule.
