Fluorinated Tertiary Thio- and Selenoethers from the Reaction of Sulfenyl or Selenenyl Chloride with Perfluoropropene Dimers in the Presence of Alkali Fluoride

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.60.4471

Perfluoro(1,1-dimethylbutanide) anion generated from hexafluoropropene dimers and alkali fluorides in dry N,N-dimethylformamide, reacts with arenesulfenyl or areneselenenyl chloride to give the corresponding aryl perfluoro(1,1-dimethylbutyl) sulfides or selenides in low to good yields.
