Skeletal Rearrangements during the Fluorination of C6-Hydrocarbons over Cobalt(III) Trifluoride

Perfluorination of hexane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,3-dimethylbutane, methylcyclopentane and cyclohexane over cobalt(III) trifluoride gave, in each case except perhaps cyclohexane, a mixture of linear, branched and cyclic C6-fluorocarbons: the degree of skeletal rearrangement (excluding cyclohexane) varied from ca. 7percent (methylcyclopentane) to 96percent (2,2-dimethylbutane).A carbocation mechanism, which does not proceed to equilibrium, is suggested.

Electrochemical fluorination of toluene and benzotrifluoride in the presence of triallylamine

Electrochemical fluorination of benzotrifluoride in the presence of triallylamine as depolarizer was studied. The possibility of preparing perfluoromethylcyclohexane and its isomers with high current efficiency and substance yield in combination with perfluorinated tertiary amines was examined.

Electrochemical fluorination of several esters derived from oxolane-2-yl-carboxylic acid, oxolane-2-yl-methanol and oxane-2-yl-methanol

Electrochemical fluorination (ECF) of the ester derivatives of oxolane-2-yl-carboxylic acid (1), oxolane-2-yl-methanol (2) and oxane-2-yl-methanol (3) were investigated. Perfluoro(oxolane-2-yl- carbonylfluoride) (4) was obtained from derivatives of 1 and 2, and perfluoro(oxane-2-yl-carbonylfluoride) (5) was obtained from derivatives of 3 as the desired compounds, respectively. From the ECF of acetates of 2 and 3, perfluorospiroethers having a dioxolane ring were also obtained as the cyclization product in low yield together with the desired perfluoroacid fluoride (4 and 5). The structure of these perfluorospiroethers was confirmed by analyzing the chlorinated products, which were obtained by the reaction with AlCl3.
