A New Route to Polykis(dialkylamino)benzenes and -naphthalenes Based on Protodefluorination of Electron-Rich Fluoroaromatics: Anion Radicals of Arenes as a Simple and Effective Alternative to ‘Classical’ LAH-Based Systems

Abstract

A simple and effective procedure for protodefluorination of electron-rich fluoroaromatic compounds has been developed. It operates with aromatic anion radicals as reducing agents and shows superior results over ‘classical’ lithium aluminum hydride based systems.

Key words

fluorinated amino arenes - aromatic anion radicals - protodefluorination - lithium aluminum hydride - electron transfer
