Tomar, Pooja published the artcilePhotochemical activation of SF6 by N-heterocyclic carbenes to provide a deoxyfluorinating reagent, Synthetic Route of 2240-88-2, the publication is Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) (2018), 54(70), 9753-9756, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
The activation of the greenhouse gas SF6 using electron-rich N-heterocyclic carbenes gave 2,2-difluoroimidazolines or 2,2-difluoroimidazolidines as well as 2-thio derivatives of the carbene precursors. The N-heterocyclic carbenes can also convert SF4 to give similar products. The difluoroimidazolidine derivatives were applied in deoxyfluorination reactions. Furthermore, the activation of SF6 and the fluorination can be coupled in a one-pot process to convert 1-octanol into 1-fluorooctane.
