Fluorinations reductive

MeCN, r.t., 24 h) gave, respectively, a mixture of fluorinated derivatives 287 (67%) and 290 (6%), and 290 (54%) and 287 (11%). In each case, the minor products were formed by C-5 epimerization of the starting compounds prior to the displacement, followed by fluorination. Reduction (NaBHJ of 287 and 290, followed by hydrolysis, gave an anomeric mixture of 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-L-idofuranose (from 287) and 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-D-glucofuranose...

Pentafluorobenzene. Pentafluoroben2ene has been prepared by several routes multistage saturation—rearomati2ation process based on fluorination of ben2ene with cobalt trifluoride reductive dechlorination of chloropentafluoroben2ene with 10% pabadium-on-carbon in 82% yield (226,227) and oxidation of penta uorophenylbydra2ine in aqueous copper sulfate at 80°C in 77% yield (228). Its ioni2ation potential is 9.37 V. One measure of toxicity is LD q = 710 mg/kg (oral, mouse) (127). 

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). 

Bismuth pentafluoride is an active fluorinating agent. It reacts explosively with water to form ozone, oxygen difluoride, and a voluminous chocolate-brown precipitate, possibly a hydrated bismuth(V) oxyfluoride. A similar brown precipitate is observed when the white soHd compound bismuth oxytrifluoride [66172-91 -6] BiOF, is hydrolyzed. Upon standing, the chocolate-brown precipitate slowly undergoes reduction to yield a white bismuth(Ill) compound. At room temperature BiF reacts vigorously with iodine or sulfur above 50°C it converts paraffin oil to fluorocarbons at 150°C it fluorinates uranium tetrafluoride to uranium pentafluoride and at 180°C it converts Br2 to bromine trifluoride, BrF, and bromine pentafluoride, BrF, and chlorine to chlorine fluoride, GIF. It apparently does not react with dry oxygen.

The carbon-fluorine bond is very stable. Further, where two fluorine atoms are attached to a single carbon atom there is a reduction in the C—F bond distance from 1.42 A to 1.35 A. As a result bond strengths may be as high as 504 kJ/mole. Since the only other bond present is the stable C—C bond, PTFE has a very high heat stability, even when heated above its crystalline melting point of 32TC.

These reactions differ from those of sulfur tetrafluoride with carbonyl compounds in that a formal oxidation-reduction of the sulfur atoms m the thiocarbonyl compound and sulfur tetrafluoride molecule occurs, resulting in the formation of free sulfur and the complete utilization of the fluorine atoms in sulfur tetrafluoride. 

A recently discovered variant of the Wallach technique is the silver ion cata lyzed fluorination of aryl diazo sulfides in hydrogen fluonde-pyridine-toluene solvent [57] (equation 12) Electron withdrawing substituents such as acetyl give higher yields of aryl fluoride (71%) than electron donating groups (butyl 39%, methoxy, 2-14%), reductive dediazoniation competes with fluorination...
