Abstract

A variety of fluorinated olefins have been found to undergo halogen interchange in the presence of a solid Lewis acid. Cyclic olefins such as perfluorocyclobutene are converted to their perchloro analogs by the action of aluminum chloride with particular ease. This same reaction does not appear to proceed in the homogeneous phase.
