Carbon tetrafluoride is an extraordinarily stable compound. It is the end product in the fluorination of any carbon-containing compound. A useful laboratory preparation, for example, involves the fluorination of silicon carbide. The SiF4 also formed is removed easily by passing the mixture through 20% NaOH solution. The CF4 is unaffected, whereas the SiF4 is immediately hydrolyzed the difference is due to the fact that, in CF4, carbon is coordinately saturated whereas silicon in SiF4 has 3d orbitals available for coordination of OH- ions in the first step of the hydrolysis reaction. 

In the presence of bromoform, an unexpected effect of the saturating gas was observed, the highest rate being observed with carbon tetrafluoride, then nitrogen, both being more efficient than the rare gases (Fig. 14). 

Step 1 1-(p-Chlorophenyl)-3-Ethoxy-1 H-lsoindole - Crystalline triethyloxonium boron-tetrafluoride (21 g) (prepared from 23 g of borontrifluoride etherate and 11 g of epichlorohydrin) is dissolved in 100 ml of absolute methylenechloride. 3-(p-Chlorophenyl) phthalimidine (21 g) is added and the reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting solution is poured onto 50 ml of saturated Sodium carbonate, extracted with 500 ml of ether and dried. Upon evaporation of the solvent there is obtained crude material which is recrystallized from methylene chloride/hexane (1 1) to yield l-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-ethoxy-1 H-isoindole MP 102° to 103°C.
