Abstract

A preliminary communication'recently reported the apparent function of anhydrous potassium fluoride as a base in the Hofmann reaction converting N-chlorobenzamide to phenyl isocyanate. This unexpected behavior of potassium fluoride became the object of further study in an attempt to determine whether the salt behaved similarly in other reactions. The literature cites a few examples of the use of potassium fluoride which include several ...
