Abstract

The compounds i-C4H9SO2F, i-C3H7SO2F and cyclo-C3H7C (O) F have been subjected to electrochemical fluorination in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The resulting products were fully analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. From the reaction balances, literature data and quantum chemical calculations, a new mechanism for carbon-chain isomerization during the electrochemical fluorination (ECF) is proposed. The key step in the formation of isomeric ...
