Abstract
Fluorination of 1,3-diketones with xenon difluoride in the presence of the insoluble cross-linked polystyrene–4-vinylpyridine complex with boron trifluoride and insoluble cross-linked polystyrene–4-vinyl-pyridine resins resulted in the formation of mono- and di-fluoro products, while reactions with enol acetates in the presence of hydrogen fluoride gave α-fluoroketones.
