J. Loiseau et al., A new carboxylic acid with branched ponytails for the solubilization of Mn(II) and Co(II) ions in perfluorocarbons, J FLUORINE, 108(2), 2001, pp. 195-197
The synthesis of a carboxylic acid (C8F17(CH2)(3))(2)CHCOOH 3 bearing two l
ong branched perfluoroalkyl-alkyl chains is described. This acid is highly
soluble in perfluorocarbons and is 3 useful ligand fur the preparation of t
ransition metal complexes that are soluble in fluorinated media. This is il
lustrated by the preparation of the manganese(II)- and cobalt(II)-carboxyla
te: complexes, both of which are soluble in perfluorocarbons and are thus p
otentially interesting starting materials for metal-catalyzed reactions und
er fluorous biphasic procedures. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
