Pentafluoroethylating compositions

The present invention relates to pentafluoroethylating compositions, processes for obtaining them, and their use in pentafluoroethylation reactions.

Cupration of C2F5H: Isolation, structure, and synthetic applications of [K(DMF)2][(t -BuO)Cu(C2F 5)]. Highly efficient pentafluoroethylation of unactivated aryl bromides

Pentafluoroethane, C2F5H (HFC-125), is smoothly cuprated with preisolated or in situ-generated [K(DMF)][(t-BuO)2Cu] to give [K(DMF)2][(t-BuO)Cu(C2F5)] (1) in nearly quantitative yield. Complex 1 has been isolated, structurally characterized, and demonstrated to be an exceedingly versatile pentafluoroethylating reagent for a variety of substrates, including unactivated aryl bromides.

The reactions of copper-dibromodifluoromethane-amide systems with alcohols

1,1,1-Trifluoro-2-arylethanes can be prepared by the trifluoromethyldehydroxylation of benzyl alcohols using the copper-dibromodifluoromethane-amide reaction system, although the yields are low.The mechanism of the reaction may involve chelation of the substrate to copper so that α-substituted benzyl alcohols and other alcohols are unreactive.
