tert-Butyl hypofluorite, t-BuOF, easily synthesized from t-BuOH and F-2, is a unique source of the novel electrophilic tert-butoxylium moiety t-BuO+. It was added to several benzylic double bonds to form vicinal fluoro-tert-butoxide derivatives. Not surprisingly, this bulky reagent is quite sensitive to steric hindrance. The process is electrophilic in nature, but since the reaction is relatively slow (20-60 min) formation of various radical species can take place, forming eventually several distinct byproducts. t-BuOF was also reacted with a number of enols, producing the corresponding alpha-tert-butoxy ketone derivatives in moderate to good yields. The best results were obtained with benzylic enol derivatives.
