Abstract

The use of the bench-stable, solid reagent (Me4N)SCF3 enables a convenient, highly efficient, and selective transformation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids to acyl fluorides at room temperature. This base- and additive-free method offers high functional group tolerance and facile product purification via filtration.
