Patent ID: 7939697

Claim:
A method for producing a fluorine-containing organic compound represented by the formula (7): R—Fm (7) wherein R represents a substituted or unsubstituted saturated hydrocarbon group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group and m represents an integer satisfying the inequality: 1≦m≦n, which comprises reacting a fluorinating agent represented by the formula (1): wherein R 1 and R 3 are the same or different, and represent an optionally substituted alkyl group, R 2 , R 4 and R 5 are the same or different, and represent a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted alkyl group, x satisfies 0<x<1, and Y − represents a monovalent anion other than a fluoride ion, with an organic compound of the formula (6): R-Ln (6) wherein R is the same as defined above, L represents a leaving group and n represents an integer of 1, 2 or 3.
