Abstract

Abstract 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 7-Hexafluorobicyclo [2, 2, 1] hepta-2, 5-diene gave 1, 2, 3, 4- tetrafluorebenzene in at least 73% yield when heated to 450 C in a sealed tube; the CF 2 bridge appeared, in part, as octafluorocyclobutane. Nucleophilic attack by sodium methoxide-methanol on the diene occurred exclusively at the CF CF bond, causing the formation of 1, 2, 4, 7, 7-pentafluoro-3-methoxybicyclo-[2, 2, 1] hepta-2, 5-diene and a 1, 4, ...
