4.4. Preparation of 3,3,4,4-tetrafluorocyclobutene (8)
3,3,4,4-Tetrafluorocyclobutene was prepared by dehydro-
chlorination of 1-chloro-2,2,3,3-tetrafluorocyclobutane [17],
which was prepared by cross-coupling cyclobutanation of
tetrafluoroethylene and vinyl chloride [12].

1-Chloro-2,2,3,3-tetrafluorocyclobutane (50 mmol), sodium
hydroxide (125 mmol) and calcium chloride (50 mmol) were
introduced to a stainless-steel reactor (volume: 50 ml) equipped
with a stop valve, and heated at 50 8C. After 62 h, the products
were fractionated through traps at ꢀ60, ꢀ120 and ꢀ196 8C
with a vacuum line, and 45.7 mmol (91% yield) of 3,3,4,4-
tetrafluorocyclobutene was isolated at a ꢀ120 8C trap.

CoF3 (10 mmol) was placed in a stainless-steel reactor
(volume: 50 ml) equipped with a stop valve. 1 (1.0 mmol) was
introduced to the reactor at ꢀ196 8C with a vacuum line. The
reactor was warmed up to 100 8C and stirred for 3 h. After the
reaction was completed, the crude products were fractionated
through traps at ꢀ120 and ꢀ196 8C with the vacuum line. The
structures and the ratio of the products were determined by GC–

1 (1.0 mmol) and elemental fluorine (1.0 mmol) was
introduced into a stainless-steel reactor (volume: 50 ml)
equipped with a stop valve at ꢀ196 8C with a vacuum line.
The reactor was placed in the ethanol slush (ꢀ120 8C), and
warmed to ambient temperature gradually for 15 h. After the
reaction, products were treated with NaF to remove hydrogen
fluoride and fractionated through traps at ꢀ120 and ꢀ196 8C
with the vacuum line. The structures and the ratio of the
products were determined by GC–MS, 1H NMR and 19F NMR
spectra.
