572. Aromatic polyfluoro-compounds. Part XVIII. Some replacement reactions of perfluoro-o- and -p-xylene

Abstract: Perfluoro-p-xylene has been treated with a range of nucleophilic reagents. The reactions were vigorous, and in many cases multiple substitution products were obtained in addition to the primary one. Orientation studies on four disubstituted perfluoro-p-xylenes show replacement of the fluorine atom para to the first substituent. Perfluoro-o-xylene has been treated with sodium hydrogen sulphide, hydrazine, and ammonia, and the major product shown to arise by replacement of the 4-fluorine atom in each case.

“…As a weaker donor, the methoxy substituent of 1b appears to inhibit its reaction with a second equivalent of methoxide, but its influence is not sufficiently strong to prevent substitution of the other, unsubstituted benzene ring of 1b . The observed result was consistent with results obtained by Tatlow and co-workers in their study of the reaction of perfluoro- p -xylene with methoxide ion . In contrast, the results obtained from the reaction of F8 with thiophenolate anion clearly indicate that the SPh substituent of the putative monoadduct must activate that ring toward addition of a second nucleophile.…”

“…Because of the presence of multiple fluorine substituents, hexafluorobenzene and pentafluoropyridine exhibit high reactivity toward nucleophiles (Scheme ), ,,, as do trifluoromethyl-substituted analogues, such as perfluorotoluene. ,, In a kinetic study of the reactivity of perfluoropolymethylbenzenes toward nucleophiles, it was observed that, in its reaction with − OCH 3 /HOCH 3 at 25 °C, perfluorotoluene is 7000 times as reactive as hexafluorobenzene. Adding a second (para) trifluoromethyl group (as in perfluoro- p -xylene) leads to a somewhat lower reactivity, but it is still 2900 times more reactive than hexafluorobenzene.…”

“…17 Thus amination of о and p perfluoroxylenes with NH 3 in aqueous alcohol at 150 °C affords monoamino derivative in a moderate yield (~40-50%), which is caused, in particular, by com plexity of product isolation (preparative GLC) from multi component mixtures. No data on amination of per fluoroxylene 7a were found, although one paper 18 pre sents the 19 F NMR spectrum of 3,5,6 trifluoro 2,4 bis(tri fluoromethyl)aniline (7b).…”
