Abstract

The selective addition of fluorine to the double bond of olefins by means of vapor phase reaction with cobalt trifluoride at 20-125'has been found to be quite general for stable halogenated olefins. Chloroethylene, cis-1, 2 dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1, l- difluoroethylene, 2-bromo-l, l, l-trifluoropropene, and 2-fluoropropene produced the respective vicinal difluoro derivatives in fair yields. In addition, compounds produced by ...
