Photonucleophilic substitution in aryl fluorides: photochemical cine-substitution and evidence for an addition–elimination mechanism
Abstract
Photosubstitution of aryl fluorides by primary and secondary amines can give both ‘normal’ and cine-substitution products, probably by an addition-elimination mechanism; ortho-type photoadducts are also produced in most cases, although p-difluorobenzene gives the para-adduct (6) with diethylamine.
