Fluoride-mediated selective cross-coupling reactions of alkyl halides and trimethyl(perfluoroalkyl)silanes, Me3SiRf (Rf = CF3, C2F5) in the absence of any catalysts

A temperature range of -18 °C to room temperature was found to be effective for selective fluoride-mediated cross-coupling reactions of trimethyl(perfluoroalkyl)silanes, Me3SiCF3 and Me3SiC2F5, and alkyl halides, RX (X = Br, I) in the absence of any catalyst.

Substituent effects on the disproportionation-combination rate constant ratios for gas-phase halocarbon radicals, Part 5: Reactions of CF3 + CF3CH2CHCH3 and CF3CH2CHCH3 + CF

Rate constant ratios, kd/kc for the disproportionation/combination reaction have been measured as 0.07 ± 0.02 when an H is removed from the CH2 position of the CF3CH2CHCH3 radical and as 0.

Process for the preparation of compounds containing a difluoromethylene or trifluoromethyl group

A process for the preparation of compounds containing a difluoromethylene or trifluoromethyl group. A compound containing a carbonyl group, preferbly an acid, acid halide, amide, ketone or any compound containing a perhaloalkylcarbonyl moiety is placed, in anhydrous liquid hydrofluoric acid, in contact with boron trifluoride in a quantity such that the absolute pressure of boron trifluoride in the reaction system is at least one bar for a time sufficient to convert the carbonyl group to a difluormethylene or trifluoromethyl group. The compounds obtained are useful as synthesis intermediates in the pharmaceutical, plant-protection and dye industries, as anesthetics or as heat-transfer and lubricating fluids.
