• In combination with nitrosonium tetrafluorborate, ketoximes are converted to gem-difluorides: Synlett, 425 (1994).
• Convenient form of anhydrous HF, showing increased reactivity in many reactions: J. Org. Chem., 44, 3872 (1979). Alkenes and alkynes undergo hydrofluorination; in the presence of NIS or NBS, iodo- or bromofluorination occurs: Synthesis, 779 (1973). Secondary and tertiary alcohols are converted to alkyl fluorides: Synthesis, 653 (1974). Diazotization of ɑ-amino acids in the presence of the reagent provides good yields of ɑ-fluoro acids: Synthesis, 654 (1974). Reaction with aryldiazonium salts or triazenes leads to aryl fluorides, providing a convenient alternative to the Balz-Schiemann reaction (see Tetrafluoroboric acid, L14037): J. Am. Chem.
