Phenols Reactions with 1,1-Difluorodichloroethene, 1,2-Di(fluorochloro)ethene, and Trifluorochloroethene
摘要:
Phenols containing in the para-position of the benzene ring substituents of various electronic character add to 1,1-ditluorodichloroethene in acetone in the presence of potassium hydroxide. A similar reaction with 1,2-di(fluorochloro)ethene occurs only in DMF or N,N-dimethylacetamide and is followed by hydrogen chloride elimination. Phenols with electron-donor substituents add to trifluorochloroethene in acetone in the presence of potassium hydroxide, the reaction of phenols with electron-acceptor substituents requires DMF as solvent.
Novel base-catalyzed hydrophenoxylation and hydrothiolation of hexafluorobutyne are described. By using an easily available base, a variety of vinyl ethers as well as sulfides are prepared at room temperature through two-phase nucleophilic addition reaction. Mechanistic study revealed that the stereoselectivity of vinyl ethers might depend on frontier orbital interaction under kinetic control.
