Acrylate esters of seven n‐1,1‐dihydroperfluoroalkanols have been synthesized. The esters are: 1,1‐dihydroperfluoroethyl‐; 1,1‐dihydroperfluoropropyl‐; 1,1‐dihydroperfluorobutyl‐; 1,1‐dihydroperfluoropentyl‐; 1,1‐dihydroperfluorohexyl‐; 1,1‐dihydroperfluorooctyl‐; and 1,1‐dihydroperfluorodecyl acrylates. Since these alcohols were difficult to esterify using conventional procedures, acrylyl chloride or acrylic acid plus perfluoroacetic anhydride have been empolyed in this work.
Three distinct methods of preparation of 1, l-di-//-perfluoroalkyl halides have been developed in this laboratory. We wish to report a brief account of two of these methods along with the chemistry of some of the intermediates. The third method has been published (1).The first 1, l-di-JT-heptafluorobutyl halide ever prepared was 1,1-di-JTheptafiuorobutyl iodide. 1, l-Di-H-heptafiuorobutyl amine, C3F7CH2NH2, was reacted with nitrous acid in aqueous solution to give 1-17-hep tafiuorodiazobutane, C3F7CHN2, which was isolated by distillation in one run. Treatment of 1-7/heptafluorodiazobutane with an excess of hydrogen iodide in 3, d'-dichlorodiethyi ether at room temperature gave 1, l-di-H-heptafluorobutyl iodide, C3F7CH2L No reaction occurred at Dry Ice temperature, -78°.
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.
