Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-1139(00)81036-2

The reactions of tin(II) benzenethiolate in DMF with hexafluorobenzene, chloropentafluorobenzene and bromopentafluorobenzene have been compared.Replacement of fluorine and chlorine by the phenylthio group and protodebromination were observed.DMF was a better solvent than either ethylene glycol/pyridine mixture (1:2) or diglyme for the reaction.New products have been isolated and characterized from the reactions of tin(II) p-chlorobenzenethiolate with hexafluorobenzene, decafluorobiphenyl, octafluorotoluene and pentafluorobenzyl bromide.
