Abstract Xenon fluorides, especially XeF 2 and the intercalates of XeF 4 and XeF 6 in graphite, react with a broad range of aromatic compounds to provide a convenient direct route to fluoroaromatic compounds, many of which are otherwise difficult to prepare. Some of the products are of medicinal and biological interest. Highly colored radical cations are generated in the reactions by one‐electron oxidation. XeF 2 also serves as a useful source of fluorine by reacting readily with carbon‐carbon double and triple bonds to yield difluoro‐ and tetrafluoro‐ addition products, as well as products resulting from rearrangements (especially in the case of norbornene).
