Among the numerous enzymes that utilize pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) as cofactor, the amino acid racemases, amino acid decarboxylases (e.g., aromatic amino acids, ornithine, glutamic acid), aminotransferases (y-aminobutyrate transaminase), and a-oxamine synthases, have been the main targets in the search for fluorinated mechanism-based inhibitors. Pharmaceutical companies have played a very active role in this promising research (control of the metabolism of amino acids and neuroamines is very important at the physiological level). 

However, substitution of sterically shielded hydrogen atoms appears to be possible, in 7 (Fig. 2) for example, but rearrangement of fluoroalkyl radicals (Fig. 2) [38], rather than direct substitution, has been suggested as the fluorination mechanism. 

The reaction can be carried out for any combination of halogens, except where one is fluorine. Mechanisms are often complex and depend on the reagent and reaction conditions.345 For different reagents, mechanisms involving carbocations, carbanions, and free-radical intermediates, as well as concerted mechanisms, have been proposed. When the reagent is zinc, anti stereospecificity has been observed in some cases,346 but not in others.347... 

One postulated reaction mechanism for electrochemical fluorination involves an intermediate nickel fluoride, with nickel in the oxidation stage +III/ + IV, as the active fluorination agent. The induction period in which the nickel fluoride layer is formed at the nickel surface can thus be explained. A radical fluorination mechanism has also been postulated, with oxidation of the fluoride anion to the radical, or as discussed below in the ECEC mechanism.15 The mechanism of this process is still a matter for debate. Reference should be made to a report that does not support the postulates of this section.21 For partial electrochemical fluorination, the ECEC mechanism is postulated as follows. In the first step the starting material is oxidized at the anode (E = electrochemical step).

With CF3C=CCF3 or olefins with an internal double bond such as cis- or fraras-F-2-pentene, F-cyclobutene, or l,2-dichloro-l,2-difluoro-ethylene, or with a geminally disubstituted olefin such as 1,1-dichloro-2,2-difluoroethylene, only fully fluorinated products were obtained, likely through a nucleophilic fluorination mechanism. This fact, plus the necessity for a Lewis acid catalyst for addition to proceed, is evidence for an electrophilic addition mechanism. Others have suggested polar addition of BF3 to the olefin with RfBF2 as a reactive intermediate (294). 

Many fluorinated, mechanism-based inhibitors are amino acid derivatives [3, 81]. These target enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism, for example decarboxylases, transaminases or monoamine oxidases. 

The presence of a three-spin effect can also be revealed by triple irradiation experiments, where both the electron and the proton spin transitions are strongly irradiated. This has the effect of removing the indirect pathway for the transfer of spin polarization from the electron to the fluorine via the proton, leaving only the direct electron—fluorine mechanism. Any additional proton—fluorine Overhauser effect due to the saturation of the proton signal is negligible in solution containing free radicals. Figure 23 shows the results of such a triple-irradiation...

The reaction of perfluoroalkyl iodides with alkenes affords the perfluoro-alkylated alkyl iodides 931. Q.a-Difluoro-functionalized phosphonates are prepared by the addition of the iododifluoromethylphosphonate (932) at room temperature[778], A one-electron transfer-initiated radical mechanism has been proposed for the addition reaction. Addition to alkynes affords 1-perfluoro-alkyl-2-iodoalkenes (933)[779-781]. The fluorine-containing oxirane 934 is obtained by the reaction of allyl aicohol[782]. Under a CO atmosphere, the carbocarbonylation of the alkenol 935 and the alkynol 937 takes place with perfluoroalkyl iodides to give the fluorine-containing lactones 936 and 938[783]. 

Chemical Properties. A combination of excellent chemical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures result in high performance service in the chemical processing industry. Teflon PEA resins have been exposed to a variety of organic and inorganic compounds commonly encountered in chemical service (26). They are not attacked by inorganic acids, bases, halogens, metal salt solutions, organic acids, and anhydrides. Aromatic and ahphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, amines, esters, chlorinated compounds, and other polymer solvents have Httle effect. However, like other perfluorinated polymers,they react with alkah metals and elemental fluorine. 

Numerous avenues to produce these materials have been explored (128—138). The synthesis of two new fluorinated bicycHc monomers and the use of these monomers to prepare fluorinated epoxies with improved physical properties and a reduced surface energy have been reported (139,140). The monomers have been polymerized with the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, and the thermal and mechanical properties of the resin have been characterized. The resulting polymer was stable up to 380°C (10% weight loss by tga).
