Use of trifluoroacetaldehyde N-tfsylhydrazone as a trifluorodiazoethane surrogate and its synthetic applications

Since fluoro-compounds are popular in industrial settings, efficient methods for incorporation of fluoride into organic molecules are desirable. Here, the authors developed trifluoroacetaldehyde N-tfsylhydrazone (TFHZ-Tfs) as a CF3CHN2 surrogate that generates CF3CHN2 in situ under basic conditions.
