Synthesis of 2-aryl-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropanoic acids, tetrafluorinated fenoprofen and ketoprofen by electrochemical carboxylation of pentafluoroethylarenes
Synthesis of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)propanoic acid and 2-(3-benzoylphenyl)-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropanoic acid (tetrafluorinated fenoprofen and ketoprofen) was achieved by electrochemical carboxylation of pentafluoroethylarenes.
