Abstract

Anhydrous organic fluoride salts and reagents prepared by a method comprising the nucleophilic Substitution of a fluorinated aromatic or fluorinated unsaturated organic compound with a salt having the formula: [Q_nM]^x+A_x^- in an inert polar, aprotic solvent; wherein M is an atom capable of supporting a formal positive charge, the n groups Q are independently varied organic moieties, n is an integer such that the [Q_nM] carries at least one formal positive charge, x is an integer defining the number of formal positive charge(s), +, carried by the [Q_nM], A^- is an anionic nucleophile capable of substituting for F in the fluorinated compound and F represents fluorine or a radioisotope thereof.
