Organoaluminum-catalyzed new alkylation of tert-alkyl fluorides: Synthetic utility of Al-F interaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(97)01237-9

tert-Alkyl fluorides have been revisited as promising alkylation agents based on the activation of fluorine as a leaving group by organoaluminums through the eminent AI-F interaction. Trialkylaluminums were found to be excellent catalysts as well as alkylation agents.
