XtalFluor Reagents
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
