title: Denitrogenative hydrofluorination of aromatic aldehyde hydrazones using (difluoroiodo)toluene.
abstract: An operationally simple conversion of aromatic aldehyde hydrazones to monofluoromethylated arenes is reported. The hypervalent iodine reagent TolIF2serves as an oxidant, converting the hydrazone to the corresponding diazo compounds. The by-product of the oxidation process, HF, is consumed in situ by a denitrogenative hydrofluorination reaction of the diazo group.
