Abstract

Abstract The reactions of sodium ethoxide in ethanol with various fluoroaromatics, C 6 F 6− n H n, C 6 F 5− n H n NO 2, C 6 F 5 X (X= CF 3, C 6 F 5, COCH 3, CH 2 Br), C 6 Cl 6 and m H 2 C 6 Cl 4 have been studied. Partial substitution of the aromatic halogen was observed. The new products have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR (H− 1 and F− 19), infrared and mass spectroscopy.
