Perfluoroacyl thiophens. Part I. The behaviour of 2-thienyl metals with perfluoroaliphatic acid derivatives
Abstract
The reaction of 2-thienyl-lithium with perfluoroaliphatic acids and their NN-diethyl amides gives anomalous results; either a perfluoroacyl thiophen or a thiophen-carboxylic acid or carboxamide is obtained, depending on the size of the perfluoroalkyl group. Hexafluoro-1,3-di-(2-thenoyl)propane has been prepared from 2-thienyl-magnesium bromide and perfluoroglutaryl dichloride.
