Transformations of Perfluorinated 2-Alkyl- and 2,2-Dialkylbenzocyclobutenones in SbF5 and SiO2-SbF5
摘要:
Perfluorinated 2-methyl- and 2-ethylbenzocyclobutenones on heating in SbF5 underwent isomerization into perfluoroindan-1-one and perfluoro(2-methylindan-1-one), while their reaction with SiO2-SbF5 gave perfluorinated 3-methyl- and 3-ethylphthalides, respectively. Perfluorinated 2-ethyl-2-methyl- and 2,2-diethylbenzocyclobutenones reacted with SbF5 to produce perfluorinated 2-(but-2-en-2-yl)- and 2-(pent-2-en-3-yl)-benzoic acids, and their transformations in SbF5 over SiO2 afforded 5,6,7,8-tetrafluoro-1-oxo-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-isochromene-4-carboxylic acid and perfluoro(4-ethyl-3-methyl-1H-isochromen-1-one), respectively.
