Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical fluorination of acetofenone and benzophenone was studied in anhydrous HF and in solutions. The electrochemical fluorination of acetophenone in HF occurred exclusively in the ring and furnished ortho-and meta-isomers of fluoroacetophenone, 2, 5-difluoroacetophenone, and 1-(3, 3, 6, 6-tetrafluoro-1, 4- cyclohexadienyl)-1-ethanone. The fluorination of benzophenone in anhydrous HF ...
