Abstract

This the sis is directed toward.a introducing the reader to the most recent advances in fluorine chemistry by briefly outlining the techniques and procedures thus far used in the synthesizing fluoroorganic compounds, and also the technical and physical limitations in using various types of fluorinating agents.

The reader will be introduced to a new form of synthesis whereby fluorine can be added to the aromatic nucleus of organic compounds that are of the hydroquinone and benzoquinone structure. The fluorine of such an addition will be part of the fluoborate radical. It is hoped that such an approach as the benzoquinone-fluoboric acid addition n1ay lead to a new and fuller insight towards aroma tic fluorinating in the future.
