Aryne chemistry. Part V. Some addition reactions of tetrafluorobenzyne

Abstract

The addition of tetrafluorobenzyne to benzene and mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and hexa-alkyl benzenes is described together with the additions to tetralins, naphthalenes and anthracene. In all these reactions only 1,4-addition products are isolated. The pyrolyses of some of the compounds isolated are reported. The proton magnetic resonance spectra of the products and the mass spectra of certain compounds are discussed.
