Charged up: The selective electrochemical fluorination of organic compounds using the alkali-metal fluoride KF under very mild reaction conditions has been accomplished (see scheme). The long-standing problems of low solubility of metal fluorides in organic solvent and low nucleophilicity of fluoride ions for fluorination have been overcome by the use of of poly(ethylene glycol).
