The photochemistry of several polyfluorinated azide derivatives of methyl benzoate have been studied in a variety of solvents.We have photolyzed methyl 3-azido-6-fluorobenzoate, methyl 3-azido-4-fluorobenzoate, methyl 4-azido-2-fluorobenzoate, methyl 3-azido-2,4-difluorobenzoate, methyl 3-azido-2,6-difluorobenzoate, methyl 3-azido-2,4,6-trifluorobenzoate, and methyl 4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoate in toluene, cyclopentane, tetramethylethylene, diethylamine, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and methanol in an attempt to capture the photogenerated reactive intermediates.Adducts were not formed in cyclopentane, dimethyl disulfide, and methanol solvents.Adducts were formed, however, but in modest yields, in the other solvents.In general the yield of adducts increases with the number of fluorine substituents present, and ortho and para fluorine substituents relative to the azide group are more effective in enhancing the yield of adducts relative to meta fluorine substitution.
New Reagents for Photoaffinity Labeling: Synthesis and Photolysis of Functionalized Perfluorophenyl Azides

Functionalized perfluorophenyl azides (PFPA) 2-6, 8-12, 14-19, and 21-29 were synthesized, allowing the attachment of PFPA to other molecules for application as photolabels.Two biactive molecules were modified by a PFPA as potential photoaffinity labeling reagents.Photolysis of two representative members was investigated.Photolysis of azide 4 in cyclohexane gave 57 percent of CH insertion product.When photolysis was carried out in the presence of diethylamine as a trapping reagent, it gave 65 percent of NH insertion product, and no ring expansion product was found.The nitro azide 19 showed a shoulder absorption in the longer wavelength compared to azide 4.Azide 19 gave less CH insertion and more aniline products compared to azide 4 when photolyzed in toluene, suggesting that the nitro group accelerates intersystem crossing of the singlet nitrene or the singlet excited azide.Collectively, our results demonstrate that the functionalized PFPA investigated are much better in undergoing CH insertion than their nonfluorinated analogues and suggest that they may constitute an improved series of photolabeling reagents.
4-AZIDO-2-IODO-3,5,6-TRIFLUOROPHENYLCARBONYL DERIVATIVES. A NEW CLASS OF FUNCTIONALIZED AND IODINATED PERFLUOROPHENYL AZIDE PHOTOLABELS

Iodinated perfluorophenyl azide 4 and NHS ester 7 were synthesized.Photolysis of azide 4 in DEA/ cyclohexane gave N-H insertion product 9 (24percent).For photolabeling purposes, this constitutes a significant improvement over the behavior of non-fluorinat
