Fluorine-containing compound production method

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing a fluorine-containing compound by introducing a fluorine atom into a wide variety of oxygen-containing compounds having a ketone group, an aldehyde group, a hydroxy group, or the like using SF5− stabilized by forming a salt with a glyme-coordinated alkali metal ion as a deoxofluorinating agent under relatively mild conditions. The present invention pertains to a method for producing a fluorine-containing compound, the method in which a fluorine-containing compound is produced by the deoxofluorination of an oxygen-containing compound having an aldehyde group, a ketone group, a carboxy group, or a hydroxy group in one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of DMPU, G4, DMA, HMPA, and MeCN using a deoxofluorinating agent represented by a general formula (E1) [in the formula, M represents Cs+, K+, or Rb+; G4 represents a tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether; and n represents an integer of 1 to 4].
