p-Fluorobenzoyl Chloride for Characterization of Active Hydrogen Functional Groups by Fluorine-19 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ac00276a014

The base-catalyzed reactions of p-fluorobenzoyl chloride provide a convenient method for (19)F NMR analysis of alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, amines, and thiols.The (19)F chemical shift and yield data for p-fluorobenzoyl derivatives for nearly 100 compounds are presented.The yield data for these p-fluorobenzoyl derivatives suggest a simple, and in many cases, quantitative method for introducing a fluorine tagging group.The (19)F chemical shifts indicate a wide chemical shift range (ca. 10 ppm) for a large number of compounds.Furthermore, most chemical classes (e.g., phenols, alcohols, etc.) have fairly well resolved chemical shift regions.
