Tetroxide Fluoride

The highest yields (over 90%) are obtained with a platinxim reaction vessel. Glass may be used as the apparatus material if other material is imavailable, but the product is then quite impure 

Sulfur tetrafluoride is stored in sealed quartz ampoules. PROPERTIES  

Colorless gas, thermally stable up to—600°C reacts vigorously with water. Decomposed exothermally by concentrated HgS04.. Attacks glass but not quartz or mercury. 

The sulfur burns with a bluish flame in the fluorine stream. The product collects in the condensation trap and is then passed 

Sulfur dioxide is burned with an excess of fluorine to SFg in the apparatus described for the preparation of COFg (p. 206 f). The temperature should be as high as possible, preferably about 650°C. The chief Impurity in the crude SFg accumulating in the condensation trap is SC Fg. The SFg is passed through several fritted wash bottles filled with water and hot 10% KOH, and then dried over PgO. The yield is 70%, based on SC.

Fluorinated olefins react with nitrosyl fluoride [131], dinitrogen tetroxide and fluoride ion [131], or nitrosyl chloride and fluoride ion [19S, 199] (equations 35 and 36) to afford fluoronitioso compounds Tertiary fluoroniUoso compounds are a convenient source of tertiary perfluoroalcohols... 

As osmium forms a tetroxide, OsFg might possibly exist, especially in view of the existence of the osmium(VIII) oxyfluorides, but MO calculations indicate the Os—F bond would be weaker in the binary fluoride. It is also likely that non-bonding repulsions between eight fluorines would make an octafluoride unstable [23b],...

The method by which lactone 17 was obtained was not without its own implications for the synthesis. Treatment of 16 with dry tetra n-butylammonium fluoride in acetonitrile achieved desilylation. Not unexpectedly, this process triggered migration of the C5 benzoyl group to the newly unveiled C4 alcohol. The C5 alcohol thereby liberated underwent lactonization to the desired 17 (61% yield from 16). Indeed, reaction of 17 with stoichiometric osmium tetroxide in pyridine-THF afforded a single diol formulated as 18 in 97% yield (see Figure 4). 

Liquid perchloryl fluoride is a typical nonpolar solvent. Most inorganic and organic salts are insoluble in it. Conversely, most covalent, essentially nonpolar substances, boiling within about 50°G of perchloryl fluoride, are completely miscible, e.g., chlorine, boron trifluoride, sulfur hexafluoride, silicon tetrafluoride, phosgene, nitrous oxide, chlorine trifluoride, chlorofluorocarbons, silicon tetrachloride, sulfuryl chloride, dinitrogen tetroxide, and thionyl chloride 106). 

A convenient method of preparing nitryl fluoride is to heat dinitrogen tetroxide with cobalt(III) fluoride at 300°C ... 

Reaction with fluoride ion forms the adduct oxofluoro ion, [0s04F2]2. For example, osmium tetroxide reacts with sodium fluoride to form an oxofluoro salt of sodium ... 

Decomposition may be explosive, even at —40°C [1], Solutions stable at —30°C can be formed in hydrogen fluoride, bromine pentafluoride and chlorosulfonyl fluoride. But melting solvents onto solid xenon tetroxide at —196 C often causes explosions if performed too rapidly [2]. 

Os). There also exist a number of volatile Ru and Os halides and oxyhalides. The fluorides and oxyfluorides are of importance, but experimentally difficult to handle. Quite naturally, early considerations [81,82] and experimental developments [83-96] for a first Hs chemistry exclusively concentrated on the tetroxides. This strategy is justified, since classical extrapolations [97] as well as fully relativistic density functional theory calculations on the group-8 tetroxides [98] predict the existence of a volatile and very stable HSO4. 

The diols (97) from asymmetric dil droxylation are easily converted to cyclic sii e esters (98) and thence to cyclic sulfate esters (99).This two-step process, reaction of the diol (97) with thionyl chloride followed by ruthenium tetroxide catalyzed oxidation, can be done in one pot if desired and transforms the relatively unreactive diol into an epoxide mimic, ue. the 1,2-cyclic sulfate (99), which is an excellent electrophile. A survey of reactions shows that cyclic sulfates can be opened by hydride, azide, fluoride, thiocyanide, carboxylate and nitrate ions. Benzylmagnesium chloride and thie anion of dimethyl malonate can also be used to open the cyclic sulfates. Opening by a nucleophile leads to formation of an intermediate 3-sidfate aiuon (100) which is easily hydrolyzed to a -hydroxy compound (101). Conditions for cat ytic acid hydrolysis have been developed that allow for selective removal of the sulfate ester in the presence of other acid sensitive groups such as acetals, ketals and silyl ethers. 

Fluoronitroso compounds can be prepared by the simultaneous addition of F and NO to alkene double bonds by the use of either nitrosyl fluoride317-319, 22, 29,342-344 or a mixture of dinitrogen tetroxide and potassium fluoride.320 The nitrosofluorination reactions of hexa-fluoropropene, perfluoro(2-methylpropcne) and perfluorocyclobutene by these two different methods are summarized in Table 27. Additionally, the reactions of nitrosyl fluoride with chloro-trifluoroethene,319 with alkyl perfluorovinyl ethers.317 and with pcrfluoro(2-methylacryloyl fluoride)344 are listed.
