The reaction of equimolecular amounts of a nitrile and triflic anhydride or triflic acid at low temperature produces an intermediate nitrilium salt that subsequently reacts with 2 equiv of a different nitrile at higher temperature to form 2,4-disusbstituted-6-substituted 1,3,5-triazines in

We report herein an operationally simple method for the direct conversion of benzylic C-H groups to C-F. We show that visible light can activate diarylketones to abstract a benzylic hydrogen atom selectively. Adding a fluorine radical donor yields the benzylic
