EXPERIMENTAL
of compound 2 (content in the mixture according to
GC data ~100%).
Analytic and spectral measurements were carried
out in Chemical Service Center of joint usage of the
Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
From 3.12 g (15.59 mmol) of compound 1 and
3.76 g (18.06 mmol) of PCl5 (200–202°C, 24 h) were
obtained 2.82 g (89%) of compound 2, content in the
mixture ~100% (GC).
NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AV-300
[282.4 (19F) and 300 (1H) МHz] spectrometer in CCl4
with added (CD3)2СO, internal reference С6F6 and
HMDS (0.04 ppm from TMS). 31P NMR spectra were
recorded on a Bruker AV-400 (162.0 МHz) spectro-
meter, external reference H3PO4. Positive values of
chemical shifts correspond to the signal downfield
shift. For GC-MS a chromatograph HP 5890 with
mass-selective detector HP 5971 was used and a
chromatograph Agilent 6890N with the system Agilent
5973N. Energy of ionizing electrons was 70 eV. The
separation of substances was performed using column
HP-5 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm, carrier gas helium,
flow rate 1 mL/min, column temperature 50–280°С,
ion source temperature 173°С. GC analysis was
carried out on a chromatograph HP 5890 with a
column HP-5, 30 m × 0.52 mm × 2.6 µm and a
detector of thermal conductivity.
Similarly from 3.21 g (8.06 mmol) of compound 3
and 3.58 g (17.91 mmol) of PCl5 (203–205°C, 5 h)
were obtained 2.94 g (88%) of compound 2, content in
the mixture 97.2% (GC).
From 3.50 g (14.92 mmol) of compound 4 and
6.40 g (30.73 mmol) of PCl5 (203–205°C, 5 h) were
obtained 2.62 g (85%) of compound 2, purity 98.4%
(GC).
1-Chloro-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene (6). From
3.33 g (18.28 mmol) of compound 5 and 7.93 g
(38.08 mmol) of PCl5 (198–200°C, 5 h) were obtained
3.10 g (92%) of compound 6, purity 99.7% (GC).
1,4-Dichlorotetrafluorobenzene (8). By heating
3.29 g (15.19 mmol) of thiol 7 and 6.60 g
(31.69 mmol) of PCl5 (201–203°C, 5 h) were obtained
3.01 g (90%) of compound 8, purity 99.5% (GC).
Initial polyfluoroarenethiols were obtained by the
method [17]. Isomeric mixture of dichlorotrifluoroben-
zenethiols was prepared from technical mixture of о-,
m-, p-C6F4Cl2 and KSH (yield 90%) [18].
4-Chloroheptafluorotoluene (10). From 3.10 g
(12.39 mmol) of compound 9 and 5.22 g (25.07 mmol)
of PCl5 (219–221°C, 5 h) were obtained 2.89 g (92%)
of compound 10, purity ~100% (GC).
The formation of compounds 3 and 4 and final
products of polyfluoroarenethiols chlorination was
proved by comparing their 19F NMR spectra with
published data [7, 8, 18].
Reactions of 4-bromotetrafluorobenzenethiol
(11) with PCl5. а. From 3.25 g (12.45 mmol) of thiol
11 and 5.35 g (25.69 mmol) of PCl5 (179–181°C, 5 h)
were obtained 2.64 g of a mixture containing compounds
8 62.4% and 12 36%, according to GC data.
Chlorination of polyfluoroarenes. Method 1.
Polyfluoroarenethiol was charged in an ampule and
PCl5 was added by portions. After the gas evolution
finished the ampule was sealed, placed into a metal
case, and heated. After the reaction completed the
ampule was cooled, opened, its content was placed into
a flask under a layer of water with ice (80–100 g),
stirred for 2 h by magnetic stirrer to hydrolyze the
phosphorus compounds, then alkalinized with Na2CO3,
stirred for 2 h more, and subjected to steam distillation.
The reaction product was separated, dried with CaCl2,
and analyzed by GC and 19F NMR methods.
Compounds 2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, and 17 were
obtained.
b. At 238–240°C (5 h) from 3.48 g (13.33 mmol) of
compound 11 and 5.48 g (26.32 mmol) of PCl5 were

99.1% and 12 0.6%, according to GC data.
