Abstract
A new Lewis acid - aluminum chlorofluoride - was demonstrated to be an effective catalyst for the isomerization of fluoroolefins, polyfluori nated epoxides and cyclopropanes. At ambient temperature this catalyst converts perfluorobutadiene-1,3 into perfluorobutyne-2 and perfluoro( 4-methylpentene-2) into perfluoro(2-methylpentene-2) in nearly quantit ative yield. At 100 degrees C, aluminum chlorofluoride causes the clea vage of perfluorinated tertiary amines.
