Methyl groups, fluorinated

This indirect proof of the appearance of CF3SF leads to the conclusion that fluorination of sulfenyl chlorides of the series CF Cl3 SCl (n = 0, 1, 2) with alkali metal fluorides follows the mechanism observed in the formation of sulfenyl fluorides the initial chlorine-fluorine exchange at the sulfur atom is followed by isomerization to the sulfenyl chloride containing the corresponding more highly fluorinated methyl group. 

When R = Me, first one or two hydrogen atoms of the methyl group are substituted by fluorine. Methyl groups attached to the C = C bond in the cyclohexadiene or cyclohexene are almost unreactive towards vanadium(V) fluoride under the indicated conditions, but at 25 C a mixture of products from C = C bond fluorination and substitution of hydrogen in the methyl group is formed.117... 

Sugar derivatives with variously fluorinated methyl groups at specific positions synthesized as above were further transformed into the corresponding acyclic forms and the representative example was described in Figure 12. The glycosidic bond and... 

Miscellaneous. Halogenation of the methyl group of dimethyl sulfate by chlorine and by fluorine has been described (64,65). Reduction of dimethyl sulfate by hydhodic acid occurs in a way that is comparable to that shown by sulfuric acid and results in reduction to sulfur (66). 

In the onginal route to isoflurane, the methyl ether of tnfluoroethanol is made with dimethyl sulfate [.S] followed by careful chlorination of the methyl group to make the dichloromethyl ether. This ether is fluorinated with hydrogen fluoride and an antimony catalyst and the final step is monochlorination of the a carbon of the ethyl group [S] (equation 2)... 

In the case of the cyclopentane oxirane 424, fluorination [KHFj, Me0(CH2)20H] proceeded to give preferably one fluoroalcohol, 426 (61%) over the isomeric one, 425 (7%), possibly by the influence of the benzyloxy-methyl group. Similarly (KHF2, ethylene glycol, 160°), another oxirane, 427, was converted into 428 (30%). 2-C-(Fluoromethyl)-/ T6>-inositol (429)... 

The stepwise replacement of fluorine atoms in fluorocyclophosphazenes, (NPF2) n = 3—5), by methyl groups has been followed.and n.m.r. spectroscopy showed that methyl-lithium in diethyl ether generally effects a geminal replacement pattern. With N3P3F6, only mono- and di-methyl derivatives were obtained, but with N4P4F8 the dimethyl (52), trimethyl (53), and octamethyl derivatives were noted. The formation of... 

In contrast, substituting the ort/to-methyl groups of SIMes with ortho-fluoride atoms profoundly alters the catalytic metathesis performance. In 2006, Grubbs and co-workers reported the synthesis of the fluorinated NHC-Ru catalysts 25 and 26 [41] (Fig. 3.8). Catalytic tests in the RCM of 1 to form 2 showed that the phosphine-free catalyst 26 was slower than the standard catalyst 16, which was consistent with theoretical investigations suggesting the electron-withdrawing fluoride atoms would lead to a decrease in catalyst activity [42]. However, in contrast to the computational...
