The use of perfluoroalkyl hypofluorites for an efficient synthesis of perfluorinated ethers characterized by low Ostwald coefficient

In the reaction between perfluoroolefins and perfluoroalkylhypofluorites the existence of two different free radical reaction mechanisms is demonstrated by the presence of characteristic byproducts. These kinetic schemes can be experimentally controlled b

The reaction of CF3OOCF2OF with fluoroolefins

The reaction of fluoroxydifluoromethyl trifluoromethyl peroxide, CF3OOCF2OF (1), with fluoroolefins leads to the formation of novel fluorinated peroxides as major products.When 1 was added to 1,2-dichloro-1,2-difluoroethylene, CFCl=CFCl, under controlled conditions, the formation of 4,5-dichloro-2,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-1,3-dioxolane was also observed.A mechanism is proposed to rationalize these results. - Keywords: Fluoroolefins; Fluoroxydifluoromethyl trifluoromethyl peroxide; Synthesis; IR spectroscopy; NMR spectroscopy; Mass spectrometry

Synthesis of Perfluoroethylmethylether by Direct Fluorination

The direct fluorination of trifluoromethylethers prepared from ethylene or fluorinated ethylenes with trifluoromethyl hypofluorite proceeded in excellent yield to obtain perfluoroethylmethylethers.
