General description

May contain or form low levels of calcium fluoride during storage. Presence of this does not impact the specification values.

Application

Convenient form of anhydrous HF, stable up to 50°C. Has been used for the preparation of β-fluoroamines from amino alcohols and for the fluorination of acetylenes.
Used together with hypervalent iodine(III) reagents for ipso-fluorination of para-substituted phenols providing cyclohexadienones. Employed with Selectfluor™ (Catalog No. 439479) for geminal fluorination of 2,2-diaryl-1,3-dithiolanes.
Reactant for preparation of:
  • Epimers of shikimic acid with the features of fucosylated glycans via zinc-mediated reductive ring opening followed by a Barbier reaction
  • Vaccinia H1-related (VHR) phosphatase inhibitor with a nonacidic phosphate-mimicking core structure
  • Candidates for nucleic acid drugs
  • ω-substituted gem-difluoroalkanes by oxidative desulfurization-difluorination

Reagent for:
  • Halofluorination reactions

2,2-diaryl-1,3-dithiolanes, readily obtainable from diaryl ketones, were transformed into the corresponding gem-difluoro compounds using a novel reagent combination involving Selectfluor and pyridinium polyhydrogen fluoride (PPHF) under mild conditions in moderate to good yields.

Fungi can shield surface pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) for evading host immune attack. The most common and opportunistic human pathogen, Candida albicans, can shield β-(1 3)-glucan on the cell wall, one of the major PAMPs, to avoid host phagocyte Dectin-1
