(Chemical Equation Presented) A mild and efficient procedure to synthesize α-fluoro- and α,α-difluoroimines was developed. Various N-alkylimines derived from acetophenones were successfully monofluorinated using NFSI (N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide) in a mixture of CH3CN and DMF at 0°C. Alternatively, the same procedure without DMF gave rise to difluorinated imines when performed at room temperature. The obtained α- and α,α-difluorinated imines were subsequently reduced to give the corresponding β-fluoro- and β,β-difluoroamines in good yield.
