Abstract

An unusual aryne-mediated fluorination of aromatic ring systems during the desilylation of ortho-bromo-biphenyl-trimethylsilanes with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) is described. In situ formation of an aryne and addition of fluoride affords fluorinated biphenyls. The structures have been undoubtfully confirmed by synthesis of authentic samples via Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling and X-ray analysis. In situ trapping experiments with furan ...
