The fluoroxysulfate ion, SO/sub 4/F/sup -/, substitutes fluorine on aromatic compounds in acetonitrile solution at room temperature. However, benzyl fluoride is the principal product from toluene. Other products are also formed, particularly in the case of the less reactive aromatic substrates. Product distributions and relative reactivities are interpreted in terms of an initial electrophilic attack that can be followed by free-radical side reactions.
