28. A contrasing experiments in our hands using cationic fluorine reagents, such as Selectfluor (1.0 equiv), (14a) for a catechol 1a at ambient temperature for 20 min resulted in forming the ortho -quinone 2a in 85% NMR yield without obtaining any fluoronated products.

40. 2 (23c) smoothly proceeded in various organic solvents; however, they were less effective for the one-pot deoxyfluorination. The oxidation by Fetizon reagent (23d) was slow at room temperature, while the ortho -quinones gradually decomposed.
