Abstract

Sulfur tetrafluoride converts aliphatic nitro acids to the corresponding trifluoromethyl compounds. The yield is poor with primary nitro acids; but high yields of fluoronitrocarbons, otherwise difficult to obtain, are produced from certain γ-substituted butyric acids and from substituted acrylic acids. Eleven new fluoronitrocarbons are described.
