Vm. Karpov et Ve. Platonov, Generation of chloropolyfluoromethylene-1-indanyl cations and their isomerization into chloropolyfluoromethylindenyl cations, RUSS J ORG, 37(7), 2001, pp. 981-987
1-Chlorooctafluoro-3-methylene-1-indanyt, 3-(chlorofluoromethylene)heptaflu
oro-1-indanyl, and 2- and 3-(dichloromethylene)heptafluoro-1-indanyl cation
s were generated from the corresponding dihalomethyleneindans in the system
SbF5-SO2ClF. Isomerization of these cations yields thermodynamically more
stable polyfluoromethylindenyl cations with chlorine atoms in the five-memb
ered ring.
