General description
Tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone is a fluorinated building block, commonly used as a precursor for fluoro derivatives.
Application
Tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone (fluoranil) can be used to prepare:
- Symmetrical or unsymmetrical ethers by coupling of two alcohols via the oxidation-reduction condensation reaction.
- Azocino[4,3-b]indole scaffold, which is used as an inetermediate to prepare (±)-dasycarpidone.
- Chiral and racemic charge-transfer (CT) complexes with binaphthol.
