Hy. He et al., SINGLE-ELECTRON TRANSFER-REACTIONS OF ENA MINES WITH POLYFLUOROALKYL IODIDES - NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF ALPHA-POLYFLUOROALKYL KETONES AND ALDEHYDES, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 17(6), 1996, pp. 896-900
Fairly high yields of alpha-polyfluoroalkyl ketones (aldehydes) formed
in the reactions of enamines with polyfluoroalkyl iodides were charac
terized by UV, IR, MS, H-1 NMR, F-19 NMR and elemental analysis. The e
lectron transfer in nature of these reactions was proved by spin trapp
ing and inhibition experiments, The addition of catalytic amounts of S
mI2 has significantly shortened the reaction time and increased the yi
elds of alpha-polyfluoroalkyl ketones.
