FLUORINATED COMPOUNDS FOR USE IN LITHIUM BATTERY ELECTROLYTES

Provide are fluorinated cyclic and acyclic carbonate solvent compositions such as various fluorine substituted 1,3-dioxolane-2-one compounds and fluorine substituted 1,3-dioxane-2-one compounds, which are useful as electrolyte solvents for lithium ion batteries.

HYDROFLUOROETHER COMPOUNDS AND PROCESSES FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND USE

A hydrofluoroether compound comprises two terminal fluoroalkyl groups and an intervening substituted or unsubstituted oxymethylene group, each of the fluoroalkyl groups comprising only one hydrogen atom and, optionally, at least one catenated (that is, in-chain) heteroatom; with the proviso that the hydrogen atom is part of a monofluoromethylene moiety.

Promising prospects for using partially fluorinated alcohols as O-nucleophilic reagents in organofluoric synthesis

Perfluoroolefins react with isopropyl alcohol under the conditions of radical initiation to form partially fluorinated aliphatic alcohols. The reactions of these alcohols with hexafluoropropylene and compounds containing labile halogen atoms (in particular, with allyl bromide and epichlorohydrin) were studied.
