Abstract
Tetrafluoroallene has been prepared in 72%-75% yield by metallation of either 2-hydropentafluoropropene or 2-bromopentafluoropropene with t- butyllithium followed by thermal elimination of lithium fluoride from the 2-lithiopentafluoropropene. The 2-bromopentafluoropropene route gi ves the allene free of isobutane.
