ChemInform Abstract
Liquid-phase photofluorination of compound (I) leads to the desired perfluorinated cyclohexylmethoxypropane (II), the degradation product ( III) and an unusual rearranged product (IV). The Cl-containing ethers with cyclic structures (VII) are also perfluorinated by this method to give the corresponding Cl-containing F-ethers. The retention of the chlorine atom and the ability to have a benzene substituent on the substrate, substituents which are not tolerated in the electrochemical fluorination, are beneficial features of this novel perfluorinating method.
