Fluorodesulfurization of alkyl mercaptans or alkyl dithianes
-
, (2008/06/13)
Organic compounds containing a mercapto group or a dithiane moiety can be transformed into the analogous fluoro or difluoro compounds by reacting them with a halogenating reagent in liquid hydrogen fluoride, optionally containing boron trifluoride or antimony pentafluoride solution, at temperatures from about -80° and 15° C. The method may be descriptively termed "fluorodesulfurization".
