Fluoronitro compounds

Nitrated fluoro compounds are synthesized by electrophilic (NOz+), radical (NO2 ), or nucleophilic (NO2-) methods Indirect nitration routes can suppress the side reactions associated with severe reaction conditions and some nitration reagents Novel fluoronitro compounds, unobtainable by direct nitration, can also be pre pared For example, the nitration of (2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethoxy)acetaldoxime followed by oxidation of the nitroso intermediate with hydrogen peroxide yields 2-fluoro-2,2-dinitioethyl 2,2-dinitroethyl ether [f] (equation 1)... 

Several fluorodinitro compounds of methane (1,1,1-) and ethane (1,2,2-) are described as explosive, sensitive to initiation by impact, shock, friction or other means [1]. Procedures for safe handling of fluorine and explosive fluoronitro compounds are detailed [2],... 

Alkylations and other reactions using polynitroaliphatic alcohols as nucleophiles usually require Lewis acid catalysts. A comprehensive review of the chemistry of fluoronitro compounds. 

Nitro compounds are oxidized at carbon bonded to nitro group 2-Fluoronitro compounds and stlyl mtronates are converted to 2-fluorocarbonyl compounds by ceric ammonium salt [7/] (equation 73)...
