Formyl fluoride is the organic compound with the formula FC(O)H. It is the only verified acyl halide of formic acid.

Preparation

FC(O)H was first reported in the 1934. [Nesmejanow, A. N.; Kahn, E. J. “Über die unmittelbare Synthese von Säure-fluoriden aus Säuren und die Herstellung von Formylfluorid” Chemische Berichte. 1934, volume 67, page 370-373. DOI: 10.1002/cber.19340670303] Among the many preparations, a typical one involves the reaction of sodium formate with benzoyl fluoride (generated in situ from KHF2 and benzoyl chloride):Olah, G. A.; Ohannesian, L.; Arvanaghi, M, ”Formylating Agents” Chemical Reviews, 1987, volume 87, pp 671 - 686. DOI: 10.1021/cr00080a001]

:NaOC(O)H + C6H5C(O)F → FC(O)H + C6H5CO2Na

tructure

The molecule is planar; C-O and C-F distances are 1.18 and 1.34 A, respectively.

Reactions

HC(O)F decomposes autocatalytically near room temperature to carbon monoxide and hydrogen fluoride:

:HC(O)F → HF + CO

Because of the compound’s sensitivity, reactions are conducted at low temperatures and samples are often stored over anhydrous alkali metal fluorides, e.g. KF which absorbs HF.

Benzene (and other arenes) react with formyl fluoride in the presence of boron trifluoride to give benzaldehyde. In a related reaction, formyl chloride is implicated in Gattermann-Koch formylation reaction. The reaction of formyl fluoride/BF3 with perdeuteriobenzene (C6D6) exhibits a kinetic isotope effect of 2.68, similar to the isotope effect observed in Friedel-Crafts acetylation of benzene. Formylation of benzene with a mixture of CO and hexafluoroantinomic acid however, exhibits no isotope effect (C6H6 and C6D6 react at the same rate), indicating that this reaction involves a more reactive formylating agent, possibly CHO+.

Formyl fluoride undergoes the reactions expected of an acyl halide: alcohols and carboxylic acids are converted to formate esters and mixed acid anhydrides, respectively. [Olah, G. A.; Prakash, G. K. S.; Wang, Q.; Li, X. "Formyl Fluoride" in Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (Ed: L. Paquette) 2004, J. Wiley & Sons, New York. DOI: 10.1002/047084289.]
