Fig. 4. The calculated mechanism of late-stage fluorination of alkyl phosphonates via electrophilic activation.

Fig. 4

The energy distribution of alkyl phosphonate (S16) activated by Tf2O for fluorination and the optimal structure of key stability points were investigated using DFT calculations. The calculated Gibbs energy (ΔG and ΔGrd, 298.15 K, 1.0 atm) is expressed in kcal/mol.
