From hypochlorites to perfluorinated dialkyl peroxides

Investigation of Bis(Perfluoro‐tert‐Butoxy) Halogenates(I/III)

“…Bromine trifluoride can be used for a variety of bromination and fluorination reactions of organic molecules and its fluorido complex tetrafluoridobromate(III) is a promising tool for the recovery of scarce elements by urban mining [8] . Hypochlorite is the main component of industrially used bleach [9] and its organic esters are used for synthetical purposes, for example, the synthesis of perfluorinated peroxides [3] . However, little is known about partially positively charged halogens with larger ligand systems.…”

“…Hypochlorites with different alcohol moieties are known, including OMe, [4] OEt, [4] O i Pr, [5] O t Bu [5] . Additionally, fully fluorinated versions of these hypochlorites exist [3] . Generally, they are more reactive than their non‐fluorinated counterparts.…”

“…Halogen compounds with halogens in positive oxidation states and alcoholate ligands are rare, especially amongst the lighter halogens bromine[ 1 , 2 ] and chlorine. [ 3 , 4 , 5 ] Partially positively charged halogen compounds with other ligands such as fluorido or oxido are more abundant, however in comparison to compounds with partially negatively charged halogens still rare. [6] Despite their relatively low abundance they play an important role in modern synthetic chemistry.…”

[3] However, little is known about partially positively charged halogens with larger ligand systems. In case of multiatomic oxygen‐based ligands, organic hypohalites are the most common compounds.…”

“… [5] Additionally, fully fluorinated versions of these hypochlorites exist. [3] Generally, they are more reactive than their non‐fluorinated counterparts. While non‐fluorinated hypochlorites are typically prepared in aqueous solutions, their perfluorinated counterparts are synthesized with ClF under strict exclusion of moisture.…”
