Usage

General Description

3-Bromopentafluoropropene is a colorless, flammable and highly reactive liquid chemical compound with the molecular formula C3BrF5. It is primarily used as a solvent, refrigerant, and as a precursor in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is also used in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and polymers. However, it is important to handle this chemical with extreme care as it is highly reactive and can pose serious health hazards if not properly handled. Additionally, it is environmentally hazardous and can contribute to ozone depletion, making it important to use and dispose of it responsibly.

Perfluoro allyl fluorosulfate (FAFS): A versatile building block for new fluoroallylic compounds

In this study we will present and discuss both the synthesis of CF 2=CFCF2OSO2F (perfluoroallyl fluorosulfate, FAFS), focusing in particular on the important role of C3F 6/SO3 ratio, reaction temperature and boron catalyst/SO3 ratio on FAFS' yield and selectivity, as well as a wide variety of ionic and radical reactions possible with FAFS. We focused our attention on reactions of FAFS with aliphatic and aromatic alcohols, acyl halides, halides, H2O2, ketones and radicals whose synthesis and reaction mechanisms will be presented and discussed. Particular attention will be devoted to the novel diallyl-fluoroalkyl peroxide obtained. Factors such as pKa and Lowry and Pearson's Hard/Soft Acid-Base Theory which determine the selectivity between Addition/Elimination vs. Nucleophilic Substitution reaction mechanisms on FAFS will also be presented and discussed.
