Not actually bought yet, but just looking online for somewhere to get silver fluoride cheaply from, or failing that, means going the hard way, making the silver fluoride from silver oxide or other Ag compounds (I have AgCl to hand, as well as metallic silver, but I'd rather keep any fluorine chemistry to the bare minimum, courtesy of the tendency of so many organofluorination reagents for being both unholy toxic, and corrosive to glass as well.
What I've been wanting to try, is replacement of the bromine atom in the synthetic psychedelic 2C-B-FLY (FLY implies that the 2,5 methoxy groups that would signify a 2C-x or DOx, tied in the form of a ring, the fully aromatic (I.e benzodifuranyl) system is termed 'dragonFLY)
Got plenty 2C-B-FLY around, and both 2C-TFM and DOTFM look very interesting.
I found 2C-B-fly itself a very pleasant, if VERY sedating material. Literally had me sprawled out over my bed in a boneless heap due to the intensity of the myorelaxation. Not sure if 2C-TFM-FLY has ever been tried in man, but going from initial trials of the brominated analog, then it should prove worth it. I'm rather enthusiastic about the chance <MAYBE, to try it. The only snag is the general nastiness of most trifluoromethylation reagents, hydrofluoric acid (slips through the skin, starts chelating calcium as insoluble CaF,causes massive hypocalcaemia, and very deep burns via very limited contact, And it etches glass too.
Lovely, no?
nope. Not a lovely bone in its metaphorical body, HF is the devil's own putrefied urine, and I hate working with it, no matter what guise it may occur in.
