Conversion of a (sp 3 )C–F bond of alkyl fluorides to (sp 3 )C–X (X = Cl, C, H, O, S, Se, Te, N) bonds using organoaluminium reagents

A simple method for the conversion of (sp(3))C-F bonds of alkyl fluorides to (sp(3))C-X (X = Cl, C, H, O, S, Se, Te, N) bonds has been achieved by the use of a hexane solution of organoaluminum reagents having Al-X bonds.
