Nucleophilic aromatic fluorination (SNAr) is among the most common methods for the formation of C(sp2)-F bonds. Despite many recent advances, a long-standing limitation of these transformations is the requirement for rigorously dry, aprotic conditions to maintain the nucleophilicity of fluoride and suppress the generation of side products. This report addresses this challenge by leveraging tetramethylammonium fluoride alcohol adducts (Me4NF·ROH) as fluoride sources for SNAr fluorination. Through systematic tuning of the alcohol substituent (R), tetramethylammonium fluoride tert-amyl alcohol (Me4NF·t-AmylOH) was identified as an inexpensive, practical, and bench-stable reagent for SNAr fluorination under mild and convenient conditions (80 °C in DMSO, without the requirement for drying of reagents or solvent). A substrate scope of more than 50 (hetero) aryl halides and nitroarene electrophiles is demonstrated.

The reaction of acid fluorides with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) produces anhydrous acyl azolium fluorides. With appropriate selection of acid fluoride and NHC, these salts can be used for the room temperature SNAr fluorination of a variety of aryl chlorides and nitroarenes.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Taming the reagent: The use of anhydrous tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAFanh) in nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions, including variants of the selective halogen-exchange and fluorodenitration processes (see scheme), was investigated. It was shown that TBAFanh permits these reactions to be performed under surprisingly mild conditions if it is used in relatively nonpolar media.
