Highly Fluorinated Aromatic and Alicyclic Compounds

Abstract

Developmentof practicable synthetic routes to a vast new range of highly fluorinated cyclic compounds has turned industrial attention to their potential application, Current studies directed by development of new knowledge concerning synthetic routes to the basic fluorocarbon building blocks, the substitution chemistry of fluoroaromatic ring systems, and the end-use patterns for these compounds raise hopes for their industrial use.

“…Since then, anumber of other procedures have been developed. 2 The synthesis of this compound offered an opportunity to study the chemistry of the fluorine analogs of the aromatic benzene family of compounds. One class of compounds that has been extensively studiedis that containing pentafluorophenyl groups attached to a metal o r metalloidal atom.…”
