E. Bollens et al., REACTIVITY OF ISOTHIOCYANATES OF 2-F-ALKY LETHYL AND THEIR ISOMERS WITH STABILIZED PHOSPHONIUM YLIDES, Journal of fluorine chemistry, 67(2), 1994, pp. 177-181
This work reports on the reactivity of 2-F-alkylethyl thiocyanates and
isothiocyanates towards stabilized phosphonium ylides. The results le
d to a new method being devised which allowed the introduction of a pe
rfluoroalkyl chain into the structure of a stabilized phosphonium ylid
e. The method has been extended with thiocyanates to allow the introdu
ction of an alkyl or alkylaryl chain into such a structure.
