Abstract
Progress in organofluorine chemistry has always depended markedly on the discovery of alternatives to fluorine as a reagent for the synthesis of C-F bonds. Indeed, Moissan himself adopted this approach (see Chapter 4), and it is a privilege for us to honour him on the centennial of his isolation of fluorine by reviewing our on-going research centered on the development of simple and easily handled fluorinating agents . Also covered briefly is the use of fluorine-containing reagents in general organic synthesis, including cationic reagents containing complex fluoroanions which we have developed in connection with our activities in the field of superacid chemistry.
