Electrolytic Partial Fluorination of Organic Compounds. 19. A Novel Synthesis of Fluorothienopyridines Using Anodic Fluorination of Heterocyclic Sulfides as a Key Step

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00128a044

Highly regioselective anodic monofluorination of 2-pyridyl and 4-pyrimidinyl sulfides bearing various electron-withdrawing groups were successfully carried out.The fluorinated sulfides were easily converted into 2-fluorothieno<2,3-b>pyridines in good yields.
