1‐(chloromethyl)‐4‐fluoro‐1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis (tetrafluoroborate) [Selectfluor™ F‐TEDA‐BF 4 (TEDA = triethylenediamine)] in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid has been found to be a very effective reagent system for the direct electrophilic fluorination of a wide variety of aromatic compounds under mild reaction conditions to the corresponding fluoroaromatics in good to excellent yields.
