Abstract
A nucleophilic fluorination of triflates by weakly basic tetrabutylammonium bifluoride provides excellent yields with minimal formation of elimination-derived side products. Most primary and secondary hydroxyl groups are excellent substrates, but benzylic and aldol-type secondary hydroxyl groups give poor yields as a result of the instability of their triflates.
