Fluorination of perfluoroalkylsulfenyl chlorides,perfluorodialkyl disulfides and perfluorodialkyl sulfides with chlorine monofluoride

In reactions with perfluoroalkylsulfenyl chlorides (R_fSCl; R_f = F₃, C₂F₅, n-C₃F₇, n-C₄F₉) and perfluoroalkyl disulfides (R_fSSR_f′; R_f = R_f′ = CF₃, R_f = CF₃, R_f′ = C₂F₅) at 25°, chlorine monofluoride acts primarily as a chlorinating and fluorinating reagent to give the corresponding perfluoroalkylsulfur chloride tetrafluorides, R_fSF₄Cl, in good yields. However, small amounts of perfluoroalkylsulfur pentafluorides, R_fSF₅, are also obtained. A mixture of the cis and trans isomers of bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfur tetrafluoride and of trifluoromethyl pentafluoroethylsulfur tetrafluoride has been formed by the reaction of the corresponding bis(perfluoroalkyl) sulfides and chlorine monofluoride. The new perfluoroalkylsulfur chloride tetrafluorides are colorless, unpleasant smelling liquids. The infrared, mass and ¹⁹F NMR spectral data, as well as thermodynamic and elementary analysis data, are given for the new compounds.     

The preparations and properties of tris(perfluoroorgano)bismuth compounds Bi(Rf)3 (Rf = CF3, C2F5, n-C3F7, n-C4F9, n-C6F13, n-C8 F17, C6F5)

Tris(perfluoroorgano)bismuth compounds Bi(R_f)₃ (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, n-C₃F₇, n-C₄F₉, n-C₆F₁₃, n-C₈F₁₇, C₆F₅) are easily prepared in high yields from the reactions of perfluoroorganocadmium complexes with BiCl₃, or BiBr₃ in aprotic solvents. The perfluoroorganobismuth halides intermediates in these reactions have been detected by NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Tetrakis(perfluoralkyl)tellur Te(Rf)4 (Rf = CF3, C2F5, C2F5, C3F7, C4F9)

Synthesis and Properties of Tetrakis(Perfluoroalkyl)Tellurium Te(R_f)₄ (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₄F₉) Te(CF₃)₄ is obtained from the reaction of Te(CF₃)Cl₂ with Cd(CF₃)₂ complexes as a complex with e. g. CH₃CN, DMF. It is a light and temperature sensitive hydrolysable liquid. The reaction with fluorides yields the complex anion [Te(CF₃)₄F]⁻, with fluoride ion acceptors the complex cation [Te(CF₃)₃]⁺. With traces of water an acidic solution is formed. Te(CF₃)₄ acts as a trifluoromethylation reagent. The reaction with XeF₂ gives hints for the formation of Ye(CF₃)₄F₂. Properties and NMR spectra are discussed. The much more stable complexes of Te(R_f)₄ (R_f = C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₄F₉) are formed from the reaction of TeCl₄ with the corresponding Cd(R_f)₂ complexes.     

Synthese und Eigenschaften von Diethyldithiocarbaminsäureperfluororganylestern, (C2H5)2NC(S)SRf (Rf = CF3, C2F5, i‐C3F7, n‐C4F9, C6F5)

Syntheses and Properties of Perfluoroorgano Esters of the Diethyldithiocarbamic Acid, (C₂H₅)₂NC(S)SR_f (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, i‐C₃F₇, n‐C₄F₉, C₆F₅) Tetraethylthiuram disulfide reacts under different conditions with perfluoroorgano silver(I), AgR_f, and perfluoroorgano cadmium compounds, Cd(R_f)₂, to give the corresponding perfluoroorgano esters of diethyldithiocarbamic acid, (C₂H₅)₂NC(S)SR_f (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, i‐C₃F₇, n‐C₄F₉, C₆F₅), and metal diethyldithiocarbamates, AgSC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂ and Cd[SC(S)N(C₂H₅)₂]₂. The mechanisms of the reactions with AgR_f and Cd(R_f)₂ are discussed.     

Ein Neuer Syntheseweg für Perfluororganomangan- und -rhenium-Verbindungen

A New Synthesis of Perfluoroorgano Manganese and Rhenium Compounds Pentacarbonyl perfluoroorgano manganese and rhenium compounds M(CO)₅R_f (M = Mn, Re; R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₄F₉, C₆F₁₃, C₆F₅) are formed as colourless solids or liquids in good yields from the reactions of M(CO)₅Br with Cd(R_f)₂ complexes in CH₂Cl₂ either in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of Ag[BF₄] or catalytic amounts of CuI. In the presence of e. g. CH₃CN the mono or disubstituted complexes M(CO)₄(CH₃CN)R_f or M(CO)₃(CH₃CN)₂R_f are formed.     

Fluorinated phosphorus compounds: Part 8. The reactions of bis(fluoroalkyl) phosphorochloridates with sulfur nucleophiles

The reactivity of bis(fluoroalkyl) phosphorochloridates to nucleophiles is summarised. Previous data and the results described here indicate that reactivities decrease in the order: amines>alcohols>thiols. The synthesis of CF₃CH₂OP(O)(SEt)₂ in 30% yield was accomplished by treating CF₃CH₂OP(O)Cl₂ with two molar equivalents of EtSH and Et₃N in ether. The chloridates (CF₃CH₂O)₂P(O)Cl and (C₂F₅CH₂O)₂P(O)Cl did not react with MeSH in ether at −78 °C or when heated with Pb(SMe)₂ in benzene. Ethanethiol and propanethiol reacted with fluorinated chloridates in the presence of triethylamine to give thiolates (R_FO)₂P(O)SR in 13-41% yield where R_F was CF₃CH₂, C₂F₅CH₂, C₃F₇CH₂ or (CF₃)₂CH and R was Et or n-Pr. Similarly, reaction of phosphorobromidates (R_FCH₂O)₂P(O)Br, made by brominating the corresponding bis(fluoroalkyl) H-phosphonates, with benzenethiol gave derivatives (R_FCH₂O)₂P(O)SPh in 43 and 46% yield where R_F was CF₃ and C₂F₅, respectively. Treatment of the chloridothiolate Cl(EtO)P(O)SMe, prepared in two steps from triethyl phosphite, with fluoroalcohols and triethylamine in ether gave species R_FO(EtO)P(O)SMe in 62-74% yield where R_F was CF₃CH₂, C₂F₅CH₂, C₃F₇CH₂ or (CF₃)₂CH. The reactions of bis(trifluoroethyl) phosphorochloridate with 2-mercaptoethanol, 3-mercaptopropanol and ethane-1,2-dithiol gave several unexpected products whose structures were tentatively assigned.     

Solvents effects in reactions between perfluoroalkyliodides and cadmium

The interaction between perfluoroorgano iodides (R_fI where R_f = F(CF₃)₂C(CF₂CF₂)₃, n-C₆F₁₃,n-C₈F₁₇, F(CF₃)₂COCF₂CF₂,F(CF₃)₂CO(CF₂CF₂)₄ andC₂H₅OC(O)(CF₂CF₂) with cadmium in an acetonitrilesolvent media produces primarily the coupled products (R_fR_f,72–90% yield) in addition to minor quantities of the reduction products (R_fH). On the other hand ICF₂CF₂I and C1CF₂CFC1I, by a 1,2-dehalogenation reaction, form the olefins CF₂ = CF₂ and CF₂ = CFC1, respectively, as the principal products. The interaction of R_fI compounds with cadmium in other solvent media, e.g. diethyl ether. tetrahydrofuran (THF), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and bis(2-methoxyethyl)ether(diglyme) were examined and found to produce a different ratio of R_fR_f and R_fH products. {ft*}Present address: Fluidics Inc., P.O.Box 1886, Dayton, OH 45429 U.S.A.     

Synthesis,properties, and reactions of enantiomerically pure,chiral fluorous phosphines of the formula (menthyl)P(CH2CH2(CF2)n−1CF3)2 (n=6, 8)

Reactions of (menthyl)PH₂ and H₂CCHR_f6 (menthyl=1R,3R,4S; R_fn=(CF₂)_n−1CF₃) or H₂CCHR_f8 (AIBN, refluxing THF) give (menthyl)PH(CH₂CH₂R_fn) and then (menthyl)P(CH₂CH₂R_fn)₂ (n=6, 7; n=8, 8), but with purification or other difficulties at each stage. Reactions of (menthyl)PCl₂ with IMgCH₂CH₂R_fn give, under careful conditions, analytically pure 7 or 8 in 28–32% yields after distillation. Some R_fn(CH₂)₄R_fn also form. These represent the first chiral (and non-racemic) fluorous phosphines. Reactions of 7 or 8 with [Ir(COD)Cl]₂ and CO give trans-[(menthyl)P(CH₂CH₂R_fn)₂]₂Ir(Cl)(CO) (n=6, 71%; 8, 51%) as analytically pure yellow oils. Their IR ν_CO values show the donor/acceptor properties of 7 and 8 to be intermediate between those of P((CH₂)₃R_f8)₃ and P((CH₂)₄R_f8)₃. The CF₃C₆F₁₁:toluene partition coefficients of 7 and 8 (27°C, 78.4:21.6 and 93.7:6.3) are distinctly lower than those of P((CH₂)₂R_fn)₃ (n=6, 98.8:1.2; n=8, >99.7:<0.3), reflecting the replacement of a linear C₈–C₁₀ group that is ca. 75–80% fluorinated by a cyclic C₁₀ terpenyl group. Reactions of 7 or 8 with [Rh(COD)Cl]₂ give [(menthyl)P(CH₂CH₂R_fn)₂]Rh(Cl)(COD) (n=6, 69%; 8, 70%) as orange crystallizable oils.     

Perfluororganocadmium-verbindungen als sehr wirksame perfluoralkylierungs- und perfluorphenylierungsmittel zur darstellung von perfluororganozinn- und -blei-verbindungen [1]

Perfluoroorgano tin and lead compounds can be prepared in high yields from the reactions of (CH₃)₃SnOCOCF₃ and (CH₃)₃Pb(OCOCF₃) with perfluoroorgano cadmium complexes. (CH₃)₃SiOCOCF₃ reacts with (CF₃)₂Cd complexes — probably via the intermediate (CH₃)₃SiCF₃ and CF₂ elimination — to form (CH₃)₃SiF and CF₃CdOCOCF₃ complexes. While the reaction of (CF₃)₂Cd·D with (CH₃)₃SnONO₂ yields CF₃NO as the only volatile product, (R_f)₂Cd·D (R_f  C₂F₅, iC₃F₇) forms R_fCdONO₂·D and (CH₃)₃SnR_f. The preparations and properties of the partly new compounds as well as the n.m.r. spectra are described.     

The reaction of perfluoro-2,4-dialkyloxolanes with anhydrous aluminum chloride

Several kinds of perfluoro-2,4-dialkyloxolanes (A), having such alkyl groups as R_fR′_fCF₃ (2a); R_fC₂F₅, R′_fCF₃ (3a); R_fCF₃, R′_fC₂F₅ (4a); R_fR′_fC₂F₅ (5a); R_fCF₃, R′_fnC₃F₇ (6a) on the 2 and 4 positions of the oxolane ring, respectively, were treated with AlCl₃ in a heterogeneous reaction to give the corresponding perfluoro-2,5,5-trichloro-2,4-dialkyloxolanes (B). For purposes of comparison, the respective reactions of perfluoro-2-methyl-oxolane (la), perfluoro-2-n-butyloxolane (7a), and perfluoro-2, 5-dimethyloxolane (8a) with AlCl₃ were also conducted. An increasingly higher reaction temperature was needed for the reaction of A with AlCl₃ to give B as the carbon number of A increased. Cis- and trans-perfluoro-4-chloro-2,4-dimethyl-γ-butyrolactones (2c) were obtained from the hydrolytic reactions of cis- and trans-perfluoro-2,5,5-trichloro-2,4-dimethyloxolanes (2b), respectively, with fuming H₂SO₄. Physical properties and ¹⁹F nmr data are given for these new compounds.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of perfluoroalkyl-derivatised β-diketonates

A series of fluorinated β-diketones, R_fC(O)CH₂C(O)R_f′ (R_f=C₆F₁₃, R_f′=CF₃; R_f=R_f′=C₆F₁₃, C₇F₁₅), have been prepared in reasonable yields by a two-step synthesis. On reaction with appropriate metal substrates, deprotonation and concurrent coordination of the perfluoroalkyl-derivatised β-diketonate ligands affords a range of fluorous metal complexes which have been characterised by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and NMR spectroscopies. The structures of [Cu(L-L)₂(H₂O)₂] {L-L=CF₃C(O)CHC(O)C₆F₁₃, C₆F₁₃C(O)CHC(O)C₆F₁₃} and [Cu(PPh₃)₂{C₇F₁₅C(O)CHC(O)C₇F₁₅}] have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Fluorinated phosphorus compounds: Part 6. The synthesis of bis(fluoroalkyl) phosphites and bis(fluoroalkyl) phosphorohalidates

Reaction of phosphorus trichloride with tert-butanol and fluoroalcohols gave bis(fluoroalkyl) phosphites (R_FO)₂P(O)H in 42-89% yield, where R_F=HCF₂CH₂, H(CF₂)₂CH₂, H(CF₂)₄CH₂, CF₃CH₂, C₂F₅CH₂, C₃F₇CH₂, (CF₃)₂CH, (FCH₂)₂CH, CF₃(CH₃)₂C, (CF₃)₂CH₃C, CF₃CH₂CH₂, C₄F₉CH₂CH₂ and C₆F₁₃CH₂CH₂. Treatment of these with chlorine in dichloromethane gave the bis(fluoroalkyl) phosphorochloridates (R_FO)₂P(O)Cl in 49-96% yield. The chloridate (CF₃CH₂O)₂P(O)Cl was isolated in much lower yield from the interaction of thionyl chloride with bis(trifluoroethyl) phosphite. Heating the latter in dichloromethane with potassium fluoride and a catalytic amount of trifluoroacetic acid gave the corresponding fluoridate (CF₃CH₂O)₂P(O)F in 84% yield. Treatment of bis(trifluoroethyl) phosphite with bromine or iodine gave the bromidate (CF₃CH₂O)₂P(O)Br and iodidate (CF₃CH₂O)₂P(O)I in 51 and 46% yield, respectively. The iodidate is the first dialkyl phosphoroiodidate to have been isolated and characterised properly—its discovery lags behind the first isolation of a dialkyl phosphorochloridate by over 130 years. The fluoroalkyl phosphoryl compounds are generally more stable than known unfluorinated counterparts.     

Negative ion mass spectra of various fluorine containing molecules

Negative ion mass spectra are reported for the compounds (CF₃CO)₂O, (C₂F₅CO)₂O, (C₃F₇CO)₂O, C₃F₇C(F)(CF₃)₂, n-C₆F₁₄, CF₃COCL, (CF₃)₂CO, BF₃, N₂F₄ and SiF₄.     

Fluorinated phosphorus compounds: Part 10. Bis(fluoroalkyl) S-alkyl phosphorothiolates and tris(fluoroalkyl) phosphorothionates

Treatment of bis(fluoroalkyl) phosphites (R_FCH₂O)₂P(O)H, where R_F was CF₃ or C₂F₅ with sulfur in pyridine at 80 °C gave salts of structure [(R_FCH₂O)₂P(O)SH]NC₅H₅ in 90 and 88% yield, respectively. The salts reacted with alkyl iodides in acetonitrile at 50 °C to furnish bis(fluoroalkyl) S-alkyl phosphorothiolates (R_FCH₂O)₂P(O)SR, where R was Me, Et, n- and i-Pr (when R_F = CF₃) and Me (when R_F = C₂F₅). Yields ranged from 21 to 57%. Bis(trifluoroethyl) S-methyl phosphorothiolate (CF₃CH₂O)₂P(O)SMe underwent fluorination by silver(I) fluoride in acetonitrile at room temperature to yield the phosphorofluoridate (CF₃CH₂O)₂P(O)F in 75% yield. Tris(fluoroalkyl) phosphorothionates (R_FCH₂O)₃P = S, where R_F was CF₃, C₂F₅ and C₃F₇, were prepared in 30-34% yield by heating the tris(fluoroalkyl) phosphites (R_FCH₂O)₃P and sulfur to 200 °C in a sealed tube for 8 h.     

Reactions of tetralouroethene oligomers Part 6. Some reactions of 4-diazo-1,1,1,2,2-pentaflouro-3-pentaflouethyl-3-triflouromethylbutane

The isocyanate R_fCH₂NCO (R_f=CF₃(C₂F₅)₂C)reacts under strongly acidic conditions to form the salt R_fCH₂NH₃⁽⁺⁾HSO₄⁽⁻⁾(1) which yields, on treatment with sodium nitrite the diazaoalkane R_fCHN₂ (3). Dissolution of (1) in D.M.S.O. gives, by a remarkable decomposition reaction, the alkane R_fH (2). Reaction of (3) with excess sodium nitrite affords the isocyanate R_fNCO (4) which is stable to water,but which reacts with ammia to give the urea R_fNHCONH₂ (5); this latter was not readily hydrolysed .Photolysis of (3) yields the diazadiene R_fCHNNCH R_f (7). Thermolysis of (3) alone afforded the diazadiene (7), but reaction in the presence of copper (II) perchlorate afforded (7) and the aldehyde R_fCHO (6)     

Über die Umsetzung von NN-Dihalogenperfluoralkanaminen mit Schwefel und Schwefelderivaten

Reactions of NN-Dihaloperfluoroalkaneamines with Sulfur and Sulfur Derivatives Reactions of NN-Dihaloperfluoroalkaneamines R_fNX₂ (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅; X = Cl, Br) with S₈, S₄N₄ and A = SX₂ (A = R_fN, O) are described. The products isolated are: Sulfurdihalideimides R_fNSX₂ (R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅; X = Cl, Br), Sulfurdiimides R_fNSNR_f and Bis(sulfurdiimido)sulfides (R_fNSN)₂S(R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅). Thionylimides R_fNSO were not obtained in preparative quantities.     

Perfluororganotellur-Verbindungen: Neue Untersuchungen zur Darstellung von Te(Rf)2 und CH3TeRf (Rf = C2F5, C3F7, C6F5)

Perfluoroorgano Tellurium Compounds: New Investigations on the Preparation of Te(R_f)₂ and CH₃TeR_f (R_f = C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₆F₅) Methyl(perfluoroorgano) tellurium and bis(perfluoroorgano) tellurium compounds are synthesized in high yields from the photochemical or the thermal reactions of (CH₃)₂ Te with perfluoroorgano iodides in the presence of (C₂H₅)₃N. They are isolated in pure states. Another general method for the preparation of bis(perfluoroorgano) tellurium is the thermal reaction of TeCl₄ with bis(perfluoroorgano) mercury. The preparations and properties of the partially new compounds are described.     

The dynamics of formation of vibrationally excited HF in reactions of O (21 D2) atoms with partially fluorinated alkanes

The nascent vibrational energy distributions of the HF? formed in the reactions of a series of partially fluorinated alkanes (R_FH; R_F = CH₂F, CHF₂, CF₃, C₂F₅, C₃F₇, and C₇F₁₅) with electronically excited oxygen atoms O(2¹D₂) have been determined by measuring the appearance times of stimulated emissions from various vibration–rotation transitions in a grating-tuned optical cavity. The vibrational energy contents of the HF formed in these reactions were found to be considerably greater than statistically expected. These reactions are believed to occur via vibrationally excited short-lived α;-fluorinated alcohols (R_FOH?), formed by insertion of the O(2¹D₂) atoms into C? H bonds. The observation of nonstatistical energy partitioning in the above reactions is in clear contrast to the result obtained from the O(2¹D₂) + CF₃CH₃ reaction that produces the β-fluorinated alcohol CF₃CH₂OH, from which the HF product carries a near statistical vibrational energy distribution. A mechanism for HF? formation in these very exothermic reactions is presented.     

Studies on fluoroalkylation and fluoroalkoxylation: 2. Perfluoroalkylation of aromatics with perfluoroalkyl iodides in the presence of copper

Perfluoroalkyl iodide R_fI [R_f = (CF₂)_nO(CF₂)₂SO₂F, n = 2, (a); n = 4, (b); (CF₂)₄Cl, (c)] reacted with substituted benzene C₆H₅Y (Y = alkyl, OCH₃, CF₃, F, Cl, Br, I) in the presence of copper in acetic anhydride to give the corresponding mixture of isomeric disubstituted benzene (R_fC₆H₄Y). The conversion and yield depend on both the amount of copper used and nature of substituent. The likely explanation is that the reaction may involve a free radical process. The perfluoroalkyl radical can be trapped by cyclohexene, isopropylbenzene and styrene. Using DMSO in place of acetic anhydride as a solvent the reaction takes a different course, it is believed that the reaction in DMSO proceeds through a perfluoroalkylcopper intermediate.     

Atmospheric pressure deposition of fluorine‐doped SnO2 thin films from organotin fluorocarboxylate precursors

Nine organotin fluorocarboxylates R_nSnO₂CR_f (n = 3, R = Bu, R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅, C₃F₇, C₇F₁₅; R = Et, R_f = CF₃, C₂F₅; R = Me, R_f = C₂F₅; n = 2, R = Me, R_f = CF₃) have been synthesized; key examples have been used to deposit fluorine‐doped SnO₂ thin films by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition. Et₃SnO₂CC₂F₅, in particular, gives high‐quality films with fast deposition rates despite adopting a polymeric, carboxylate‐bridged structure in the solid state, as determined by X‐ray crystallography. Gas‐phase electron diffraction on the model compound Me₃SnO₂CC₂F₅ shows that accessible conformations do not allow contact between tin and fluorine, and that direct transfer is therefore unlikely to be part of the mechanism for fluorine incorporation in SnO₂ films. The structure of Me₂Sn(O₂CCF₃)₂(H₂O) has also been determined and adopts a trans‐Me₂SnO₃ coordination sphere about tin in which each carboxylate group is monodentate.
