Some aspects of the chemistry of chlorofluoro-olefins which contain allylic chlorine atoms

Routes to perflouroallyl chloride, CF₂:CF.CF₂Cl, and to $\text{cis}$-and $\text{trans}$-1-chloro-hexafluoro-2-trifluoromethyl(but-2-ene), (CF₂Cl)(CF₃)C:CF.CF₃ are reported, and their susceptibility to attack by nucleophiles discussed; the allylic chlorine atoms in these olefins are the controlling factor in determining the products obtained.The conversion of 3-chloropentafluoropropene into a series of perfluoroallyl derivatives of general formula R.CF₂.CF:CF₂ [R = (CF₃)₃C-, CF₃O-, C₆F₅-, l-, MeO-, etc.] is described, and the further chemistry of 3-chloropentafluoropropene and its derivatives outlined.Water reacts rapidly with (CF₂Cl)(CF₃)C:CF.CF₃ to give CF₂:C(CF₃).CFCl.CF₃ or CF₃.CO.CH₂.CF₃. Methanol affords CF₂:C(CF₃).CFOMe.CF₃ and (MeOCF₂)(CF₃)C:CF.CF₃ as initial products, with subsequent secondary products such as CF₃.CFOMe.CH(CF₃).CF₂OMe, (CF₃)(MeO)C:C(CF₃).CF₃OMe, MeO.CF:C(CF₃).CFOMe.CF₃, (CF₃)(MeO)CF.CH(CF₃).CO₂Me, and (CF₃)(MeO)C:C(CF₃).CO₂Me. The influence of allylic chlorine and of reaction time on the formation of these products, and mechanistic pathways for their formation are considered.     

A variable temperature study of the 19-F N.M.R. spectra of some fluoroalkylhydroxylamines: Conformational changes at the nitrogen atom [1]

The fluoroalkylhydroxylamines (I) - (VII) have been examined by variable temperature 19-F n.m.r. spectroscopy, and free energies of activation obtained for the process which renders equivalent the fluorines of the CF₂N group in (I), and the trifluoromethyl groups of the (CF₃)₂CFN group in (IV), and of the trifluoromethyl groups of the (CF₃)₂N group nearest to the asymmetric carbon atom in (V) - (VII). The possible conformational processes at the nitrogen atom are discussed. Δ$\text{G}$^≠/kJ mol^-1 (I) (CF₃CF₂CF₂)₂NOCF₂CF₂CF₃ 72 ± 6 (II) CF₃CF₂CF₂N(CF₃)OCF₂CF₂CF₃ (III) CF₃CF₂CF₂N(CF₃)OCF₃ (IV) (CF₃)₂CFN(CF₃)OCF(CF₃)₂ 71 ± 4 (V) (CF₃)₂NOCH₂CHClON(CF₃)₂ 60 ± 4 (VI) (CF₃)₂NOCH₂CHFON(CF₃)₂ 59 ± 4 (VII) (CF₃)₂NOCF₂CHFON(CF₃)2 59 ± 4 The perfluorotrialkylhydroxylamines (II) - (IV) were prepared by photochemical reaction of a perfluoroalkyl iodide with a perfluoroalkyl nitroso compound.Since it was observed that some alkyl hydroxylamines show magnetic non-equivalence in their low temperature n.m.r. spectra [2,3] there has been a number of studies of conformational changes in such compounds. For cyclic derivations [4,5] it is generally agreed that the changes are associated with hindered inversion at the nitrogen atom, but for acyclic compounds these have been variously ascribed to hindered inversion at the nitrogen atom [6,7] and to restricted rotation about the N-O bond [8,9]. The former explanation has received theoretical justification [10].     

Methyl hypofluorite (MeOF) reactions with various fluoroolefins

The reaction of methyl hypofluorite (MeOF) with certain fluoroolefins, such as CF₂CF₂, CF₂CFCF₃, CF₂CFOCF₃, CF₂CFOMe, CF₂CClF, CF₂CHF, CF₂CH₂, CHFCH₂, CF₂CFCFCF₂, occurred in CD₃CN or in the presence of NaF. Using neat MeOF in the presence of NaF was a novel method and gave good results. We observed that when more than three fluorine atoms are bonded to the CC double bond, the addition products were obtained in mostly good yields.

Perfluoroalkyl iodine compounds: preparations and properties of CF₃IO, CF₃IOF₂, and CF₃IO₂. The trifluoromethyl iodine compounds CF₃IO, CF₃IOF₂, and CF₃IO₂ are formed from the reactions of CF₃I, CF₃IF₂ or CF₃IF₄ with ozone or silicon dioxide respectively.

The infrared spectra of gaseous 1,1,3,3-tetrachlorotetrafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyldioxy)butyl trifluoromethyl ether and 1,1,3,3-tetrachlorotetrafluoro-1,4-bis(trifluoromethoxy)butane

1,1,3,3-Tetrachlorotetrafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyldioxy)butyl trifluoromethyl ether, CF₃O(CF₂CCl₂)₂O₂CF₃, was formed as one of the products in the reaction of CF₃O₃CF₃ with CF₂CCl₂ at 322.6 - 342.5 K. It was isolated by fractional condensation between 213 and 243 K and characterized by molecular weight determination and ¹⁹F NMR spectrum. 1,1,3,3-Tetrachlorotetrafluoro-1,4-bis(trifluoromethoxy)butane, CF₃O(CF₂CCl₂)₂OCF₃, was condensed as residue at 193 K from the reaction of CF₃OF with CF₂CCl₂ at 266 - 302.7 K, when [CF₂CCl₂]/[CF₃OF] ≦ 0.5. It was characterized by gas chromatography and molecular weight determination. The infrared spectra of both compounds are given, providing additional support for their characterization.     

Darstellung und charakterisierung von CF2ClSF3 und CF2ClS(O)F

The fluorination of CF₂ClSCl with AgF₂ yields CF₂ClSF₃ together with CF₃SF₃ and CF₃SF₅. CF₂ClSF₃ is also formed when CF₂ClSCl reacts with BrF₃ which is adsorbed at HgF₂. CF₂ClS(O)F results from the mild hydrolysis reaction of CF₂ClSF₃ with glass walls. The new compounds were characterised by their NMR and mass spectra, CF₂ClS(O)F also by its IR spectrum. The volatilities of the compounds were derived from codistillation diagrams. - Furthermore, previously unreported mass spectra of CF₃SF₃ and CF₃SF₅ are given.     

Perfluoro- ω -iodo-3-oxaalkanesulfonyl fluorides as intermediates for surfactants and vinyl compounds

The well known fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetyl fluoride (I), FOCCF₂SO₂F (I) quantitatively formed from sulfur trioxide and TFE through the tetrafluoroethanesultone has been converted into the octafluoro- -5-iodo-3-oxapentanesulfonyl fluoride (II) ICF₂CF₂OCF₂CF₂SO₂F (II) by the well known reaction (1) involving MF, iodine, TFE in aprotic solvents.The iodo compound (II) allowed us to obtain TFE telomers having both fluorosulfonyl and iodo as terminal groups.The said telomers have been easily converted into surfactants (III) through fluorination and vinyl derivatives (IV) by dehalogenation.CF₃CF₂(CF₂CF₂)_nOCF₂CF₂SO₃M (III)CF₂CF(CF₂CF₂)_nOCF₂CF₂SO₂F (IV)     

ω-hydro-perfluoroalkyl pyrimidinyl nitroxides

Twenty-two polysubstituted 2-aminopyrimidines dissolved in F1 13 (CC1F₂-CCl₂F) solutions containing ([H(CF₂CF₂)_nCO₂]₂ n = 1,2) and H(CF₂CF₂)_nNO [? H(CF₂CF₂)_n ^? + NO] have been oxidized into detectable ω-H-perfluoroalkyl pyrimidinyl nitroxides along with neutral products. A mechanism involving Habstraction from the amino groups by H(CF₂CF₂)_nN(O^?)(CF₂CF₂)_nH and the subsequent radical steps was suggested for the generation of the nitroxides. Some relationships between a_N values and the nature of the ring substituents are discussed.     

The addition of fluorine to perhalogenated compounds containing carbon-nitrogen double bonds

The reaction of elementary fluorine with ten perhalogenated compounds containing carbon-nitrogen double bonds is reported. The reactions were carried out without added catalysts in a static system. With CF₃N=CF₂, (CF₃)₂NCF=NCF₃, SF₅N=CF₂, CF₂=NCl, CF₃CF=NCl and CF₂=NF a simple addition of fluorine to the carbon-nitrogen double bond was observed forming the respective N-fluoroamines in high yield. Two imines, CF₃CF=NF and (CF=NF)₂, were unreactive under the same conditions and reactions of CF₃CF₂CF=NF and (CF₃)₂C=NF were explosive.     

Synthesis and repellent properties of vinylidene fluoride-containing polyacrylates

Fluorinated polyacrylats with side group containing vinylidene fluoride (VDF) units (CF₃(CF₂)_n (CH₂CF₂)_m, n = 3, 5; m = 1, 2) were successfully synthesized. The water and oil repellency properties of these polymers are similar to those of fluorinated polyacrylate with side group containing long perfluorooctyl group (CF₃(CF₂)₇). The thermal telomerization of CF₃(CF₂)₅I and CF₃(CF₂)₃I with vinylidene fluoride (VDF) provided CF₃(CF₂)₅CH₂CF₂I (1b) and CF₃(CF₂)₃CH₂CF₂CH₂CF₂I (1c), respectively. The addition of 1b with ethylene followed by hydrolysis gave CF₃(CF₂)₅CH₂CF₂CH₂CH₂OH (2b). Treatment of 1c with ethyl vinyl ether in the presence of Na₂S₂O₄ followed by reduction produced CF₃(CF₂)₃CH₂CF₂CH₂CF₂CH₂CH₂OH (2c). Fluoroacrylates 3b-d were prepared by acrylation of the corresponding fluoroalcohols 2b-d. The semi-continuous process emulsion co-polymerization of 3a-d with octadecyl acrylate and 2-hydroxylethyl acrylate initiated by (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ in the presence of a mixture emulsifiers of polyoxyethylene(10)nonyl phenyl ether (TX-10) and sodium lauryl sulfate provided stable latexes 4a-d, respectively. The water and oil repellency properties of 4b (R_f: CF₃(CF₂)₅CH₂CF₂) and 4c (R_f: CF₃(CF₂)₃CH₂CF₂CH₂CF₂) containing vinylidene fluoride (VDF) units were similar to those of 4a (R_f: CF₃(CF₂)₇) containing long perfluoroalkyl group and much better than those of polymer 4d (R_f: CF₃(CF₂)₃) with short perfluoroalkyl chain. Thus, polyacrylates containing vinylidene fluoride units showed promising aspects as the alternatives to the currently used water and oil repellent agents with long perfluoroalkyl chains.     

Heterocyclic and acyclic derivatives of F-N-isopropylacetimidoyl chloride

$\text{F}$-N-Isopropylacetimidoyl chloride, CF₃CClNCF(CF₃)₂, has been used as a precursor for a variety of heterocyclic and acyclic compounds. Reaction with azide ion yields a mixture of the imidoyl azide, CF₃(N₃)CNCF(CF₃)₂, and the 1,5-tetrazole, CF₃$\text{CNNN}$CF(CF₃)₂. Hexafluoropropylideniminolithium produces as a minor product the conjugated diimine, (CF₃)₂CNC(CF₃)NCF(CF₃)₂, from nucleophilic attack at the imidoyl chlorine and as a major product the triimine, (CF₃)₂CNC(CF₃)NC(CF₃)₂NC(CF₃)₂, from further attack at the isopropyl fluorine. A thio-amide, CF₃C(S)NHCH(CF₃)₂, and a Δ³-1,2,4-dithiazoline, $\text{SSC(CF}{}_3\text{)NC}$(CF₃)₂, are produced upon reaction of hyrogen sulfide with the imidoyl chloride. Pathways are proposed for each of the reactions.     

Surface properties and structure of organofluorosilicon polymers based on organotrialkoxysilanes R<Superscript>F</Superscript>OCH<Subscript>2</Subscript>Si(OR<Superscript>F</Superscript>)<Subscript>3</Subscript>

The hydrolysis of trifunctional alkoxysilanes R^FOCH₂ Si(OR^F)₃, where R^F = CH₂CF₃, CH₂CF₂CF₃, CH₂CF₂CF₂CF₃, or CH₂CF₂CF₂CF₂CF₃, during the action of atmospheric moisture in the presence of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane under mild conditions yields new ladderlike polysiloxanes. Their structure is studied via ¹H NMR spectroscopy, GPC, TGA, and AFM. Polymer coatings prepared on their basis are found to be low-energy and hydrophobic. The total surface energy and polarity of the surface of polysiloxane films decrease, while their hydrophobicity increases with lengthening of the fluoroorganic substituent at the silicon atom.

Details are given for the preparation of heptafluoro-2-nitrosopropane and 1-chlorohexafluoro-2-nitrosopropane $\text{via}$ the routes CF₃CFCF₂ → [with CsFR_FCO₂Ag (R_F = CF₃, nC₃F₇)] (CF₃)₂CFAg → (with NOCl) (CF₃)₂CFNO and CF₃CFCF₂ → (with CsClNOCl) CF₃(CF₂Cl)CFNO, respectively, and for conversion of the latter nitroso-compound to chloropentafluoroacetone oxime $\text{via}$ reduction with aqueous potassium hydrogen sulphite.     

Reactions of Trifluoronitrosomethane with bistrifluoromethylphosphorus compounds, (CF3)2PX (where x = H,Cl, CF3)

Trifluoronitrosomethane reacts with bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphine to give (CF₃)₂P(O)N(OH)CF₃ and a small amount of (CF₃)₂NOH. On the other hand, the reactions with tris(trifluoromethyl)phosphine and bis(trifluoromethyl)chlorophosphine afford (CF₃)₂NOP(O)CF₃N(CF₃)₂ and (CF₃)₂NP(O)(CF₃)Cl respectively. Isomerisation of

may be involved as found for the isomerisation of the phosphine, (CF₃)₂NOP(CF₃)₂, to the phosphoryl compound, (CF₃)₂NP(O)(CF₃)₂. Mechanisms for the above reactions are discussed.     

Excited states of CF4 plasma for polymerization of TMPTA monomer

The F and CF₂–CF₂⁺ excited states have been detected by emission spectroscopy in CF₄RF plasmas used for TMPTA polymerization. These excited states are related through electron collision to F and CF₂ ground states. The temporal variation of the F and CF₂–CF₂⁺ radiative states near the substrate reveals that the F atoms disappear first by incorporation in the monomer during the polymerization phase and, then, by a third body recombination process enhanced by the polymer surface. The CF₂–CF₂⁺ radiative states are varying as the inverse of the F states indicating a strong destruction mechanism of CF₂ radicals by F atoms.     

(CF3)2Cd·D und (CF3)2Zn·D: neue reagenzien für difluorcarben-reaktionen [1]

During the thermal decomposition of (CF₃)₂Cd and (CF₃)₂Zn complexes primarily difluorocarbene is eliminated. The formation of CF₂ is unambiguously proved by matrix i.r. spectroscopy. Both (CF₃)₂Cd·D and (CF₃)₂Zn·D are excellent CF₂ sources, which can easily be prepared and handled, and which undergo CF₂ reactions even at low temperature. CF₂ insertion was found during the reaction of (CF₃)₂Te with (CH₃)₂Cd via the intermediate formation of a CF₃Cd compound to form CH₃TeCF₂CH₃. (CF₃)₂Cd·glyme reacts with (CH₃)₃Si(OCOCF₃) to CF₃Cd(OCOCF₃)·glyme; during this reaction CF₂ is also eliminated.     

Reaktionen eines Tetraalkoxyhydro-spirophosphorans

Reactions of a Tetraalkoxy Hydrospirophosphorane The hydrophosphorane HP[OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂O]₂ is oxidized by dimethylsulfoxide to form a hydroxy phosphorane, which may be silylated easily. Chlorine and bromine react to give the corresponding halo spirophosphoranes. FP[OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂O]₂ is obtained from FPCl₂[OC(CF₃)₂C (CF₃)₂O] and Li₂[OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂O]. In the presence of triethyl amine HP[OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂O]₂ is converted by benzylbromide or acetylchloride to RP[OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂O]₂ (R ? PhCH₂, MeC(O)). Trimethylphosphine performs an acid-base reaction producing a thermally unstable Me₃PH⁺{P[OC(CF₃)₂C(CF₃)₂O]₂}^?. The hydrolysis of the parent compound gives phosphorous acid and perfluoropinacole.

Reactions of bis(trifluoromethyl)nitroxyl with (CF3)2AsX (where X = F,Cl and Br)

(CF₃)₂AsX (X = F, Cl) give at elevated temperatures substitution reactions with (CF₃)₂NO to afford (CF₃)₂NOAs(CF₃)X and (CF₃)₂NOCF₃. The formation of addition products at low temperatures to give [(CF₃)₂NO]₂As(CF₃)₂X, followed by elimination reactions at elevated temperatures to give the final products provide for the first time direct evidence for the mechanisms of the substitution reactions. With (CF₃)₂AsBr, bromine was initially displaced to afford (CF₃)₂NOAs(CF₃)₂, followed by addition reactions to give [(CF₃)₂NO]₃As(CF₃)₂.
