Fluorination intermediates

The anions of malonaldehyde [106, 107] and of organophosphonates [108, 109, 110] are fluorinated in good yields to provide interesting fluorinated intermediates The At-fluoro compound B in Table 3a is also effective in the fluonnation of phosphonate anions [109] (equations 60 and 61). 

The fluonnation of both mono and dinitro enolates proceeds well with perchloryl fluoride. The mononitro fluorinated intermediates have been used to develop fluorinated materials of general synthetic utility [III, 113] (equation 63)... 

NMR spectroscopy is ideal for detecting charged fluorinated intermediates and has been applied to the study of increasingly stable carbocation and carbanion species. Olah [164, 165] has generated stable fluorocarbocations m SbFj/SOjClF at low temperatures The relatively long-lived perfluoro-rerr-butyl anion has been prepared as both the cesium and tris(dimethylamino)sulfonium (TAS) salts by several groups [166, 167, 168], Chemical shifts of fluonnated carbocations and carbanions are listed m Table 23.

In a very recent publication [70] Rudiger has summed up these preceding results to propose a persuasive mechanism in which fluorination proceeds stepwise via partially fluorinated intermediates which are repeatedly adsorbed on the anode, fluorinated, and desorbed. 

Thus, it is stated, in this model of the ECF process, the physico-chemical properties of the partially fluorinated intermediates - or more precisely, the course of these properties with progressive fluorination - provide the clue to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved. 

Concurrent with the work conducted on this fascinating new polymer, other fluorine chemistries were being explored at DuPont. This research demonstrated that an entire line of fluorinated intermediates, based on the telomerization of TFE, can be formed. The reaction scheme is shown in Figure 4.3. 

Quinomethionate (91) (60AG973) is made by reaction of 6-methylquinoxaline-2,3-dithiol with carbonyl chloride. It is used to control spider mites, and also has fungicidal properties. An experimental acaricide containing the unusual trifluoromethylimino group is the thiazolidine (92) (72GEP2062348). It is made by reaction of Af.fV -diphenylthiourea with the highly fluorinated intermediate (93). 

When the reducing agent can also act as a nucleophile, such as thiolate anion [18] (Figure 7.4) or ammonia sensitised by mercury [19] (Figure 7.5), functionalisation of the unsaturated, fluorinated intermediate can occur.

This chapter is an introduction to industrial- and laboratory-scale syntheses of surfactants derived from fluorinated intermediates obtained by electrochemical fluorination. The chemistry involved in the preparation of these compounds has been established for many decades and, because of its confidential nature, is mostly described in the patent literature. Recent interest in the... 

The first high-performance polymer with over 7% efficiency in its photovoltaic devices, namely PTB7, was constructed with BnDT as the donor and 2-ethylhexyl-3-fluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate as the acceptor. The synthetic route is outlined in Scheme 15.7. Fluorine is first attached onto 4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4- ]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid by PhS02NF via electrophilic fluorination. This fluorinated intermediate then undergoes Steglich esterification to attach a solubilizing side chain. Finally, an oxidation by mCPBA, followed by the dehydration by acetic anhydride, affords the fluorinated thienothiophene.
