RESUMEN
The demand for aromatic fluorides is steadily increasing in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. The Balz-Schiemann reaction is a straightforward strategy for preparing aryl fluorides from aryl amines, via the preparation and conversion of diazonium tetrafluoroborate intermediates. However, significant safety risks exist in handling the aryl diazonium salts when scaling up. In order to minimize the hazard, we present a continuous flow protocol that has been successfully performed at a kilogram scale that eliminates the isolation of aryl diazonium salts while facilitating efficient fluorination. The diazotization process was performed at 10 °C with a residence time of 10 min, followed by a fluorination process at 60 °C with a residence time of 5.4 s with about 70% yield. The reaction time has been dramatically reduced by introducing this multi-step continuous flow system.

Treatment of the gem-dihalogenocyclopropanes 1-5 with potassium tert-butoxide or LDA results in the formation of the corresponding and annulated pyrroles 13-17, respectively.
RESUMEN
[Structure: see text] The readily available hexahydrofluorene 5 has been elaborated over six steps, including three involving cyclopropane ring-cleavage reactions, into compound 12 which incorporates the carbocyclic framework associated with gibberellins.
