Bromine trifluoride in Freon 113 readily substitutes the chlorine atoms in monochloroalkanes by fluorine, while in the presence of catalytic amounts of certain Lewis acids it is also capable of substituting the chlorine atoms in polychloroalkanes with the formation of the corresponding fluorides.Additions of tin tetrachloride make it possible not only to increase the reaction rate but also to increase the selectivity of fluorination.In some cases substitution of a primary chlorine atom is accompanied by hydride transfers.
