Novel ring-cleaving reaction of 4-nitro-1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane with nucleophiles
摘要:
When 4-vitro-AF4 is treated with nucleophiles such as alkoxides and cyanide, a novel ring opening, cyclophane destroying reaction is observed whereby, via an SNAr mechanism, the nucleophile attacks the bridgehead aryl carbon vicinal to the nitro group with subsequent aryl-CF2 bond cleavage.
