Description
Selectfluor (F-TEDA-BF4) is a powerful, stable, and easy-to-handle electrophilic fluorinating reagent widely used in organic synthesis. It enables the direct introduction of fluorine into a broad range of substrates, including aromatics, heteroaromatics, alkenes, and activated C-H bonds, under mild conditions with high selectivity. Selectfluor also functions as a strong selective oxidizing agent and has applications in oxidative coupling, halogenation, and late-stage functionalization of complex molecules.
