Sodium Trimethyl Silanoate. A Hydroxyl Synthon for Fluoride S_NAr Type Displacements from Anthracene-9,10-diones, Benz[g]isoquinoline-5–10-diones and Nitrobenzenes

Abstract

Treatment of fluoroanthracene-9,10-diones, fluorobenz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-diones and 1- or 4-fluoronitrobenzenes with sodium trimethylsilanoate in THF followed by acidification readily yields the corresponding hydroxyl analogues.
