Electrochemical Fluorination Processes of Benzene and its Derivatives

这项工作的目的是开发一种电化学工艺，以部分氟化芳烃，如苯、甲苯和氯苯，使环结构保持完整。这些氟化产品作为农药和其他生物应用的中间体具有很大的价值。有机分子的氟化可以通过许多方法实现。电化学氟化的优点是它不是一个严酷的反应，它可以在室温和环境压力下进行，并且它使用廉价的原材料。

The purpose of this work is to develop an electrochemical process to partially fluorinate aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and chlorobenzene such that the rign structure is kept intact. These fluorinated products have great value as intermediated for pesticides and in other biological applications. Fluorination of organic molecules can be accomplised by many means. The advantages of electrochemical fluorination are that it is not a harsh reaction, it can be arried out a room timperature and ambient pressure, and it utilizes inexpensive raw materials.
