Preparation of Aromatic Fluorides Via Diazotization and Photochemically Induced Fluoro-Dediazoniation of Aromatic Amines in Anhydrous Hydrogen Fluoride - Organic Base Solutions

Abstract
Fluoro-dediazoniation of aromatic diazonium ions, produced by the diazotization of the corresponding aromatic amines with NaNO2 in anhydrous hydrogen fluorides (AHF) - organic base solutions, was accelerated photochemically to afford Ar-F efficiently in AHF - organic base solutions in situ.
