Functionalized aryl- or heteroarylmagnesium reagents, prepared from the
corresponding bromides or iodides using halogen-magnesium exchange or direct
magnesium insertion in the presence of lithium chloride, reacted smoothly with
N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide to give the corresponding aromatic fluorides
in good yields.
