Method for producing 1,4-bis(difluoromethyl)tetrafluorobenzene

A method for producing 1,4-bis(difluoromethyl)tetrafluorobenzene is disclosed, which has the following steps: (a) mixing 1,4-bis(dichloromethyl)tetrafluorobenzene, a catalyst, an aprotic polar solvent, and an alkali metal fluoride to form a reaction mixtu

Synthesis of perfluoro[2.2]paracyclophane

(Chemical Equation Presented) A synthesis of perfluoro[2.2]paracyclophane has been sought ever since the partially fluorinated octafluoro[2.2]- paracyclophane (AF4) was prepared and its chemistry studied. This compound has now been prepared in 39% yield from the precursor, 1,4-bis(chlorodifluoromethyl) -2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene by its reaction with Zn when heated in acetonitrile at 100°C. Two preparations of the precursor, first from 1,4-dicyano-2,3,5,6- tetrachlorobenzene and an improved method beginning from 1,2,4,5- tetrachlorobenzene, are also described as are key comparisons to our related synthesis of AF4.

Perfluoroparacyclophane and methods of synthesis and use thereof

A composition comprising perfluoro-[2,2]-paracyclophane dimer compound is disclosed. The synthesis reaction of the paracyclophane dimer from 1,4-bis(chlorodifluoromethane)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene involves heating in the presence of a metal catalyst and a solvent. A perfluorinated paraxylylene coating formed from the perfluorinated paracyclophane dimer is also disclosed.

FLUORINATIONS WITH COMPLEX METAL FLUORIDES. PART 9. FLUORINATIONS OF TOLUENE AND XYLENE DERIVATIVES BY MEANS OF CAESIUM TETRAFLUOROCOBALTATE(III)

Benzotrifluoride at 320 deg C afforded some m-fluorobenzotrifluoride and octafluorotoluene (III), together with perfluoromethylcyclohexane (I), and also traces of 2H-heptafluorotoluene and 1-trifluoromethylnonafluorocyclohex-1-ene.Toluene itself gave (difluoromethyl)benzene, fluoro- and difluoro-methylpentafluorobenzene, difluoromethylundecafluorocyclohexane and (I); also traces of di- and tri-fluoromethylnonafluorocyclohex-1-ene: no benzotrifluoride or (III) were detected. 1,3-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene at 420 deg C gave 4,5,6-trifluoro-1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, decafluoro-1,3-dimethylbenzene, and perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane.Para-xylene at 350 deg C afforded 1,4-bis(difluoromethyl)tetrafluorobenzene, 1-difluoromethyl-4-trifluoromethyltetrafluorobenzene, decafluoro-1,4-dimethylbenzene (XIX), and perfluoro-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane (XVIII).Defluorination occurred to a significant extent on passage of the saturated cyclic fluorocarbons (I) and (XVIII) over the fully spent fluorinating agent (presumably caesium trifluorocobaltate) at ca. 400 deg C; the fluorocarbon arenes, (III) and (XIX) respectively, were obtained.
