Bromine fluoride conductivity

When, for example, a weighed amount of metallic gold contained in a fused silica vessel was treated with excess of bromine trifluoiide, it dissolved rapidly. Excess of solvent, together with free bromine, were then evaporated in vacuum and a white solid remained which had the empirical formula AuBrFg. It was freely soluble in bromine trifluoride and enhanced the conductivity of the latter, so that it may reasonably be formulated as an acid (BrFjAuFJ in the bromine trifluoride solvent system. The compound lost bromine trifluoride when heated to 200° and gave auric fluoride AuFg. 

Boron trifluoride and boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex can be used as a source of fluoride ions in the presence of hypobromites and hypochlorites, e.g. methyl hypobromitc, tert-butyl hypobromite, methyl hypochlorite in carbon tetrachloride at 25 C. The addition of bromine monofluoride" and chlorine monofluoride" to various alkenes is accompanied by the formation of the corresponding alkoxybromides and alkoxychlorides which hinder the isolation of the halofluorinated products.57 jV-Bromo- and A -chloro-substiluted alkyl- and arylamines. -amides, and -imides, A -chloro-A,-methylamine, A -bromo-A -methylamine, A -chloro-A, /V-dimethylamine, A-bromo-A.A-dimethylamine, ACV-dichloro-A -methylamine, V,fV-dibromo-,V-mcthylaminc, A -bromosuccinimide, -V-chlorosuccinimide, Af-bromoacct-amide, A.A -dichlorourethane, can be used in the reaction instead of the hypohalites. The reactions with various alkenes conducted in dichloromethane at room temperature in the presence of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex produce bromofluoro and chlorofluoro addition products in 40-80 % yield. However, the reactions are complicated by the addition of A -halo-succinimides and Af.A-dichlorourcthane to the C = C bonds.58... 

Bromine trifluoride, BrFs, is also commercially available and is used as a nonaqueous ionizing solvent. Its electrical conductivity is derived from a dissociative equilibrium (equation 82). It fluorinates most snbstrates that dissolve in it and typically gives fluorides in their highest valency state.
