Aerosol Direct Fluorination Synthesis: Alkyl Halides I, Neopentyl Chloride and Bromide, Free Radicals versus Carbocations.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA132050 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Aerosol direct fluorination of neopentyl chloride produces perfluoroneopentyl chloride in 74 yields. Analogous fluorination of neopentyl bromide produces perfluoroisopentane in 63 yield. Data is presented which supports a carbocation rearrangement in the fluorination of neopentyl bromide. The carbocations are presumed to arise from disproportionation of neopentyl bromide fluorides.
