Usage

General Description

Cycloheptane, fluoro- is a chemical compound with the formula C7H13F. It is a fluorinated cycloalkane, which means that it contains a seven-membered ring with a fluorine atom attached. Fluorinated compounds are often used in various industrial and pharmaceutical applications due to their unique properties, such as high thermal stability and resistance to chemical reactions. Cycloheptane, fluoro- may be used as a building block in the synthesis of other fluorinated compounds or as a solvent in chemical reactions. It is important to handle this compound with care and adhere to safety guidelines, as fluorinated compounds can be toxic and may pose environmental risks if not properly managed.

Photoredox-catalyzed deoxyfluorination of activated alcohols with Selectfluor

Herein we disclose a deoxyfluorination of alcohols with an electrophilic fluorine source via visible-light photoredox catalysis. This radical-mediated C–F coupling is capable of fluorinating secondary and tertiary alcohols efficiently, complementing previously reported nucleophilic deoxyfluorination protocols.

A photocatalyzed aliphatic fluorination

We disclose a new approach to the catalysis of alkane fluorination employing ultraviolet light and a photosensitizer, 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCB). The process is efficient, mild, and operationally straightforward. We demonstrate reaction utility on a variety of substrates, from simple hydrocarbons to complex natural products. In a showcase example, we establish that the well-known photochemical rearrangement of α-santonin can be supplanted by a highly selective catalyzed fluorination. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014.

Visible light-promoted metal-free sp3-C-H fluorination

Photoexcited acetophenone can catalyze the fluorination of unactivated C(sp3)-H groups. While acetophenone, a colorless oil, only has a trace amount of absorption in the visible light region, its photoexcitation can be achieved by irradiation with light generated by a household compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). This operational simple method provides improved substrate scope for the direct incorporation of a fluorine atom into simple organic molecules. CFL-irradiation can also be used to promote certain classic UV-promoted photoreactions of colorless monoarylketones and enones/enals.
