Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)00630-2

Direct regioselective conversion of a variety of cyclic and acyclic ketones to α-fluoroketones was achieved in high to excellent yield using 1-fluoro-4-hydroxy-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2,2,2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate) [Accufluor - NFTh] in acetonitrile solution. Copyright
