Direct fluorination of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 6-Fluorobenzo[a]pyrene

Xenon difluoride reacts with benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in dichloromethane solution in an open system to give 6-fluorobenzo[a]pyrene. This method constitutes a direct route to fluorine substituted carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
