In general, BFM has also proven effective in the flouromethylation of enolates, phenols and oximes and is useful to provide access to a variety of compounds. Two exemplary approaches for BFM as fluoromethylation reagent are shown in Figure 2. The properties of BFM are well studied [Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 2015, 5357-5362].

BFM’s well known commercial use is in a late-stage fluoromethylation of a thioacid to yield fluticasone propionate (API found in Flonase® and Advair®) (Figure 1) or fluticasone furoate (Breo®) by GlaxoSmithKline.
Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Investigation of Bromofluoro- and Fluoroiodomethane
The solid states of bromofluoromethane (BFM) and fluoroiodomethane (FIM) are characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and by Raman spectroscopy. The single crystals were obtained by crystallization in situ at low temperature. BFM and FIM crystallize in the space group I2/a and Abm2, respectively. The Raman spectra of both compounds were recorded in different aggregation states and at different temperatures. Quantum chemical calculations and the X-ray diffraction data are considered to describe the noncovalent interactions of both compounds in the solid state. These interactions are discussed in the context of the σ-hole concept.
