- Pyrolysis of branched-chain perfluoroalkanes in the presence of halogens
-
The thermal decomposition of some highly branched perfluoroalkanes in the presence of molecular halogens (Cl2, Br2, I2) has been studied.The clear-cut cleavage of the most hindered carbon-carbon bond and the trapping by halogens of the intermediate radicals so formed account for the product distribution.Kinetic measurements support a mechanism based on homolytic rupture of the perfluoroalkanes as the rate-determining step, followed by the fast reaction of the intermediates with halogens.

- REACTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS WITH SF4-HF-HALOGENATING SYSTEM VII. REACTIONS OF OLEFINS WITH THE SF4-HF-Cl2(Br2) SYSTEM
-
Under the influence of the SF4-HF-Cl2(Br2) system halogen-containing olefins undergo conjugate halogenofluorination.It was shown for the case of (Z)- and (E)- 1,2-dichloroethenes that these reactions take place anti-stereospecifically through the formation of the bromonium ions.The accumulation of chlorine atoms in the olefin molecule hinders electrophilic addition of stoichiometric equivalents of ClF and BrF at the double bond.The SF4-HF-Br2 system is an effective agent for substitutive fluorination of organic compounds containing bromine.Only the bromine atoms situated at the secondary carbon atom are substituted by fluorine.

- Reaction of i-Heptafluoropropyl Radicals with Cyanogen Chloride
-
The gas-phase reaction of i-C3F7 radicals with cyanogen chloride has been studied between 70 and 330 deg C, using heptafluoro-2-iodopropane as the free-radical source.The main product, 2-chloroheptafluoropropane, is formed via chlorine-atom abstraction by i-C3F7: i-C3F7 + ClCN -> C3F7Cl + CN (6) for which log106/k1/2/c)/cm3/2mol-1/2s-1/2> = 6.27-14.41/2.303 RT was obtained.At lower temperatures the Arrhenius plot shows curvature.This was interpreted as the occurence of another reaction producing C3F7Cl, wich could be i-C3F7 + ClCN C3F7ClCN (9.-9) C3F7ClCN -> C3F7Cl + CN (10).The results are compared with those for the reaction of other perfluoroalkyl radicals with ClCN.

- Aerosol Direct Fluorination: Alkyl Halides. 2. Chlorine Shift and the Stability of Radicals
-
Unlike alkyl bromides and iodides, alkyl chlorides are shown to be stable to direct fluorination, even under ultraviolett irradiation, at temperatures of 30 deg C and below.Although less reactive than the bromides and iodides, F-alkyl chlorides may be derivatized, presenting another example of direct fluorination-survivable functionality.High (63 percent) to moderate (32 percent) isolated yields of the analogous perfluororalkyl chlorides can be synthesized by aerosol direct fluorination of 1-chloropropane, 1-chlorobutane, 1-chloro-2-methylpropane, 1-chloro-3-methylbutane, 1-chlo-ro-2-methylbutane, and chlorocyclopentane with generally less than 20 percent C-C bond cleavage.Tertiary alkyl chlorides generally undergo intramolecular 1,2-chloride shift in the earliest stages of reaction in a manner characteristic of β-chloro radicals forming principally primary F-alkyl chlorides.Thus 2-chloro-2-methylpropane produces 1-chloro-F-2-methylpropane (47 percent), and 2-chloro-2-methylbutane produces a 16:6.3:1 ratio of 1-chloro-F-2-methylbutane, 1-chloro-F-3-methylbutane, and 2-chloro-F-3-methylbutane, respectively, in 32 percent combined yield.Secondary alkyl chlorides undergo a similar but incomplete rearrangement producing mixtures of primary and secondary F-alkyl chlorides.Thus 2-chloropropane produces a 2:1 mixture of 2-chloro-F-propane and 1-chloro-F-propane in 50 percent combined yield; 2-chlorobutane produces a 1:1.5 mixture of 2-chloro-F-butane and 1-chloro-F-butane in 34 percent combined yield, and 3-chloropentane produces a 2:3:1 mixture of 3-chloro-F-pentane, 2-chloro-F-pentane, and 1-chloro-F-pentane, respectively, in a combined yield of 30 percent.Because secondary alkyl chlorides partially rearrange but primary alkyl chlorides donot rearrange at all on fluorination, doubt is cast on the postulate that the intermediate radicals are equilibrating.
