Direct Fluorination of Adamantanes with Iodine Pentafluoride

Abstract

Direct fluorination of adamantanes was achieved by iodine pentafluoride and one or two fluorine atoms were introduced selectively on the tertiary carbons of adamantanes.

adamantane - direct fluorination - regioselectivity - hypervalent­ iodine - iodine pentafluoride
