New fluorinating reagents

With the goal of providing a safer and crystalline fluorinating reagent, OmegaChem discovered in 2010 a new class of reagents with impressive  behavior. In the past, organic chemists needed products such as DAST, Deoxo-Fluor® and more recently Fluolead to perform fluorination, but XtalFluor® reagents now come with a long list of advantages over all of them.

 

All around advantages over DAST and Deoxo-Fluor!

• Easily handled crystalline solids
• Enhanced thermal stability
• No generation of free HF; compatible with standard glass equipment
• Fewer elimination side-products
• Less stringent shipping restrictions
• Lower costs
