| Application: | Convenient form of anhydrous HF, stable up to 50°C. Has been used for the preparation of β-fluoroamines from amino alcohols and for the fluorination of acetylenes. Used together with hypervalent iodine(III) reagents for ipso-fluorination of para-substituted phenols providing cyclohexadienones. Employed with Selectfluor® (Catalog No. 439479) for geminal fluorination of 2,2-diaryl-1,3-dithiolane |
| Application: | Reactant for preparation of: • Epimers of shikimic acid with the features of fucosylated glycans via zinc-mediated reductive ring opening followed by a Barbier reaction • Vaccinia H1-related (VHR) phosphatase inhibitor with a nonacidic phosphate-mimicking core structure • Candidates for nucleic acid drugs • ω-substituted gem-difluoroalkanes by oxidative desulfurization-difluorin Reagent for: • Halofluorination reactions |
| General description: | May contain or form low levels of calcium fluoride during storage. Presence of this does not impact the specification values. |
