The electrochemical process for the production of fluorocarbons has been shown to function satisfactorily with a large range of oxygen containing organic compounds. With acids a spread of fluorocarbon products is obtained with the number of carbon atoms both less than and greater than the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon radical of the acid. The most significant percentage, however, is in the fraction having this number of carbon atoms. A number of fluorocarbon hydrides have been isolated from the products. Alcohols and ethers also satisfactorily gave fluorocarbon products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
