Abstract

4-Fluoropyrazole systems may be prepared by a single, sequential telescoped two-step continuous gas/liquid-liquid/liquid flow process from diketone, fluorine gas and hydrazine starting materials.

Keywords: continuous flow reactions; fluorine; fluoropyrazole; gas-liquid flow reactor; selective direct fluorination.
