Fluorination of propane and propene over cobalt(III) trifluoride and potassium tetrafluorocobaltate(III)

Fluorination of propane and propene over cobalt(III) fluoride and potassium tetrafluorocobaltate(III) gave complex mixtures of products which have been identified to the 0.5percent level.The reactions are valuelles for preparative purposes.The mechanism of the fluorinations is not a simple F-for-H replacement, but requires an initial conversion of propane into propene followed by carbocation- and radical mediated reactions: the carbocations can be quenched by fluoride ions, rearrange and eliminate, and the radicals can be oxidised to carbocations or quenched by fluorine atoms.Radical quenching tends to predominate late in the fluoronation and carbocation reactions at the beginning.

REACTIONS OF CHLORINE MONOFLUORIDE. SUBSTITUTION OF CHLORINE ATOMS BY FLUORINE IN CHLORINE-SUBSTITUTED ALKANES AND ESTERS

In anhydrous hydrogen fluoride under mild conditions chlorine monofluoride selectively substitutes the chlorine atoms in chlorine-substituted alkanes and esters by fluorine with the formation of high yields of the corresponding fluorides.The presence of an alkoxycarbonyl group or difluoromethylene group at the α position to the CHCl group deactivates the chlorine atom, and substitution by fluorine does not occur.In chloroalkanes, from which elimination of the chloride ion leads to sufficiently stable carbocations, substitution by fluorine can be realized in the absence of hydrogen fluoride at temperatures between -20 and -60 deg C.The fluorinating capacity of chlorine monofluoride is increased in the presence of catalytic amounts (3-5percent) of antimony pentachloride.Here the reaction is less selective than in hydrogen fluoride.In certain cases substitution is accompanied by hydride transfers.
