ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Perfluoroalkanecarboxylic and Sulfinic Acids by Electrochemical Reduction of Perfluoroalkyl Iodides on a Carbon Fibre Cathode in N,N-Dimethylformamide. Application to the Synthesis of α,ω-Perfluoroalkane Diacids.
Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of the perfluoroalkyl iodide (I) in DMF or SO2 (III) and DMF yields the carboxylic (II) or the sulfinic acid (IV).
ChemInform Abstract
Electrochemical reduction of the perfluoroalkyl iodide (I) in DMF or SO2 (III) and DMF yields the carboxylic (II) or the sulfinic acid (IV). The diiodide (V) is similarly converted to the acids (VI) - (VIII).
