Sz. Zhu et al., Chemical transformation of bis((perfluoroalkyl)sulfonyl) methanes and 1,1,3,3-tetraoxopolyfluoro-1,3-dithiacycloalkanes, HETEROAT CH, 10(2), 1999, pp. 147-151
Halogenation of the potassium or silver salts of bis ((trifluoromethyl)sulf
onyl) methane (CF3SO2)(2)CH2 and its cyclo analogues (CF2)(n)SO2- CH2SO2CF2
with N-fluouo-bis ((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)imine (CF3SO2)(2)NF, chlorine
or bromine gave good yields of the corresponding alpha-halo disulfones (CF
3SO2)(2)CHX and (CF2)(n)SO2CHXSO2CF2 (X: F: Cl, By; n = 1,2). Some chemical
transformations of these fluorinated alpha-halo-disulfones are described.
