Electrochemically Induced Nucleophilic Substitution of Perfluoroalkyl Halides. An Example of a Dissociative Electron-Transfer-Induced Chemical Reaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00018a025

Nucleophilic substitution of perfluoroalkyl halides can be induced electrochemically.The reaction mechanism is a slightly modified version of the classical S_RN1 mechanism in which the reaction is triggered by dissociative electron transfer, not
