Abstract
Treatment of [2-(perfluoroalkyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]acetic acids with thiony l chloride and a 48% HBr solution yields 7-polyfluoroalkyl-2,3-dihydro-5H-1 ,4-dioxepine-5-one. The production of this unexpected entity is explained b y a rearrangement mechanism proposed in this work. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scienc e Ltd. All rights reserved.
