An. Alexeenko et Vp. Nazaretian, REACTIONS OF CYCLOALKANECARBOXYLIC ACIDS WITH SF4-CENTER-DOT .4. FLUORINATION OF CYCLOHEXANEDICARBOXYLIC ACIDS WITH SF4, Journal of fluorine chemistry, 69(3), 1994, pp. 241-247
Fluorination of trans-cyclohexan-1,2-dicarboxylic acid with SF4 yields
a cyclization product with a trans configuration, 7,9,9-tetrafluoro-t
rans-8-oxabicyclo[4.2.0]nonane. On heating 7,7,9,9-tetrafluoro-cis-8-o
xabicyclo[4.2.0]nonane with HF, trans-2-trifluoromethylcyclohexanecarb
onyl fluoride and trans-1,2-bis-(fluoroformyl)cyclohexane are obtained
as major products. Cyclization was not observed on fluorination of ci
s-cyclohexan-1,3-dicarboxylic acid with SF4.
