Bs. Fedorov et al., A NEW REACTION OF FLUORODINITROMETHYL GROUP .1. DENITRATION OF FLUORODINITROMETHANE AND SOME OF ITS DERIVATIVES, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(2), 1996, pp. 376-380
A general reaction of the transformation of the fluorodinitromethyl gr
oup into the fluoronitromethyl group by denitration upon treatment wit
h Na2SO3 or KI in aqueous formaldehyde was found. A preparative method
for synthesizing fluoronitroalcohols was developed on the basis of th
