Trifluoroethylation of olefins with trichlorotrifluoroethane

1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane was added to seven different olefins using a redox system, giving adducts having the CF3CCl2-C-CCl- subunit.Selective addition to the exocyclic double bond in limonene was observed.The adducts were dechlorinated by catalytic reduction or with tri-n-butyltin hydride.The two-step sequence thus provided a method for appending the trifluoroethyl group (CF3CH2-) to olefins.

Sodium Perfluoroalkane Carboxylates as Sources of Perfluoroalkyl Groups

Sodium trifluoroacetate, in the presence of copper(I) iodide, is used as a source of trifluoromethyl to replace halogen by trifluoromethyl in benzenoid and heterocyclic aromatic systems, as well as in alkenyl and alkyl halogen compounds.The mechanism of this interesting copper-assisted process has been explored and an intermediate of the form - is proposed.Introduction of higher perfluoroalkyl groups from their respective sodium perfluoroalkane carboxylates has been demonstrated and the machanistic features are compared with those of the trifluoromethylation process.
