Abstract:

Anodic cooxidation of CH24OHNF2 and CH33COH gave CH33CF. With CH3OH, the products of anodic oxidation in the presence of CH24HNF2 were CH3OCH2NF2, CH3OCH2NF2, CH3OCHNF2OCH3, and CH3OCHO. The electrolysis of C5H5NHNF2 and BOCH34- on graphite gave a mixture of CH3ONO and N2F4. The methyl nitrite is believed to be a decomposition product of the desired CH3ONF2. The anodic oxidation of the derivatives of 2,2,2-trifluoro ethanol on platinum in acetonitrile gave CF3CH2OCF3 and CF3CH2O2. A cogeneration of CF3CH2O and NF2 radicals was not achieved. Perfluoroformamide and its alkali metal salts, N2F4, and HNF2 with t-butyl hypochlorite and t-butyl peroxide as CH33CO gave no direct evidence for the formation of CH33CONF2. Attempts to prepare CH3ONF2 by direct fluorination of CH3ONH2 in H2O or CH3CN solution were unsuccessful. A new compound was formed from bis-fluoroformyl peroxide, BFFP, and KF and was isomeric with BFFP. Mass spectral data and F19 nmr confirmed the structure as the ozonide of difluoroketene 2,3,5-trioxa-4,4- difluorocyclopentanone. Cesium fluoride and BFFP gave good yields of CF3OO 2CO and CF3OOCOF.
