Introduction

The introduction of fluorine atoms into organic molecules often alters the latter’s chemical, physical, and biological properties [1]; and many developed pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals contain at least one fluorine atom. The unique effect of fluorine substitution has intrigued widespread interest and increasing demand for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds. Among various methodologies for incorporating fluorine atoms [2,3,4,5,6], deoxofluorination plays a significant role and numerous deoxofluorination reagents have been developed [6,7,8,9,10].

Nowadays, diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) and bis(2-methoxyethyl)aminosulfur trifluoride (Deoxo-Fluor) are the most widely used sulfur-based deoxofluorination reagents [11]. Compared to their parent gaseous reagent SF4 [12], DAST and Deoxo-Fluor are liquid, which means that they are easier to operate and more convenient to store. These two deoxofluorination reagents show high reactivity towards alcohols, aldehydes,...
