Abstract
An amidinate salt of hexafluoroacetone hydrate is a powerful and air-stable reagent for the preparation of fluorinated organic molecules. This reagent is soluble in many polar organic solvents and produces fluoroform, following the release of trifluoroacetate. Reactions with this reagent and common electrophiles provide excellent yields of trifluoromethylated products.
