title: Generation of (nonafluoro-tert-butoxy)methyl ponytails for enhanced fluorous partition of aromatics and heterocycles.
abstract: The reaction of sodium perfluoro-tert-butoxide with benzylic carbon-bromide bond(s) leads to the formation of (nonafluoro-tert-butoxy)methyl ponytail(s), which can enhance the fluorous solubility and partition of aromatics and heterocycles.
