Abstract

Fluoroxytrifluoromethane (CF, OF) and bis (fluoroxy) difluoromethane CF,(OF), are formed by the reaction of F, with CO and COz, respectively, over a CsF catalyst in a continuous- stream process. Both reagents react with aromatic substrates by an electrophilic substitution mechanism to yield fluoro-substituted derivatives. Fluorobenzene is produced in good yield from benzene, and aniline derivatives afford monofluorination products. Acetanilide (l), N- ...
