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 ...
