The present review covers new efficient conversions (fluorodehydroxylations) of aliphatic primary or secondary hydroxy groups with nonaflyl fluoride (n-C4F9SO2F; NfF) and bases such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), diethylamine, triethylamine or triethylamine trihydrofluoride into their corresponding (inverted) fluoro compounds. The scope, mechanisms and side reactions of these combinations of NfF with different bases are discussed.
