TCI Practical Example: Fluorination of an Alcohol Using DAST
We are proud to present the deoxofluorination of 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol by using DAST.

Used Chemicals

Procedure
-
To a solution of 4-nitrobenzyl alcohol (153 mg, 1.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (2.8 mL) was added DAST (144 µL, 1.1 mmol) dropwise and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Ice water (3 mL) and dichloromethane (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (5 mL x 3) and the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane = 1:99 - 20:80 on silica gel) twice, then was further purified by column chromatography (dichloromethane:hexane = 1:99 - 20:80 on silica gel) to give 4-nitrobenzyl fluoride as a pale yellow solid (111 mg, 72%).

Experimenter's Comments
-
The reaction mixture was monitored by TLC (ethyl acetate:hexane = 1:4, Rf = 0.50).
Since toxic hydrogen fluoride would be produced from DAST and moisture in the air, this work was done in a fume hood using appropriate protective equipment.
