RESEARCH ON SYNTHESIS OF UNSATURATED FLUOROCARBON COMPOUNDS
Abstract:
Work has continued on some aluminum chloride catalyzed additions of polyhaloalkanes to haloolefins. Additional work has been done using perfluoroallyl systems. Nitrosyl chloride has been allowed to react with some fluorodienes to give a nitroso derivative in one case but to give a suspected Diels-Alder adduct when the diene was conjugated. Free radical additions of haloalkanes to various olefins have been attempted and in some cases reactions of the products investigated. The free radical addition of haloalkanes to aromatic nuclei has been continued and terminated. Some Diels-Alder additions between cyclopentadiene and some haloolefins has been effected, and the preparation of some fluoronorbornadienes from the products has been attempted.
