2,4-Dinitro-trifluoromethoxybenzene: a promising reagent in fluorine chemistry
Résumé
Due to their specific properties, fluorinated compounds find uses in a large panel of applications, from life science to materials. These last years, the quest to develop new emerging fluorinated groups with specific properties has known an increasing infatuation. In particular, the merging of fluorinated groups with heteroatoms is highly studied these last years. Such an interest requires the development of new efficient reagents to easily synthesize various substrates bearing these substituents. In this context, 2,4-dinitro-trifluoromethoxybenzene (DNTFB) constitutes an inexpensive, easy to handle, promising reagent. First studies about its reactivity and its use in the synthesis of various fluorinated molecules has been performed with very promising results.
