Selective electrochemical fluorination of organic molecules and macromolecules in ionic liquids

Abstract

This article provides an outline of recent studies on selective electrochemical fluorination in ionic liquid fluoride salts toward green sustainable chemistry. First, a brief historical background of electrochemical fluorination in organic solvents is provided, and some particular problems and unique solvent effects associated with this technique are briefly mentioned. Second, recent progress in selective fluorination and fluorodesulfurization of organic molecules and macromolecules in ionic liquids using direct and indirect electrolysis with recyclable mediators is reviewed.
