Electrochemical oxidation of alkyl iodides using Et3N-nHF complexes as an electrolyte proceeds under mild conditions to give alkyl fluorides in good yields. The reaction is highly chemoselective and the functional groups in the substrate such as an ester, ketone, chloride, and tosylate could be tolerated under the reaction conditions.
