Tetrabutylammonium tetra (tert-butyl alcohol) coordinated fluoride-an efficient reagent for the synthesis of fluorine derivatives of phosphorus(V) compounds

Direct conversion of phosphorus(V) chlorides to the corresponding phosphorus(V) fluorides was achieved using a solid reagent, tetrabutylammonium tetra (tert-butyl alcohol) coordinated fluoride. The phosphorus(V) fluorides were directly synthesized and efficiently isolated in very good yields.
