N,N'-Difluoro-2,2'-bipyridinium bis(tetrafluoroborate) (SynFluor) is a highly reactive electrophilic fluorinating reagent, widely used in the synthesis of various organofluorine compounds¹. It is stable at room temperature but undergoes exothermic decomposition over 160°C. SynFluor effectively fluoridates β-diketones, β-ketoesters, phenols, anisoles, phenylurethanes, and steroid derivatives under mild conditions². The reagent is supplied as a white powder and should be handled cautiously in a dry atmosphere.
