Abstract
Recent developments in the area of selective electrochemical fluorination of organic compounds (usually termed as “Mild fluorination”) are reviewed with specific emphasis towards optimum operating conditions for improved yields. A brief historic outline of the developments in the area is presented. The role of electrode materials (Pt, Ni, C etc.) solvents (CH 3CN, THF, sulfolane etc.) supporting electrolyte and fluoride sources (Et 3N·3HF, Et 4NF·3HF, py·HF etc.) and operating conditions (constant potential, constant current, potential pulse, and divided cell etc.) on the overall yields and efficiency are critically evaluated based on recent research work. The types of reactants employed and the nature of products formed are also emphasised.
