The reaction of bis(dimethylglyoximato)(pyridine)cobalt(I) anion with CF2=CFX (X
Cl or Br): evidence for competitive reaction paths
Abstract
The course of reaction of the ‘supernucleophile’[pyCo(DH)2]-(pypyridine, DH
dimethylglyoximato) with CF2=CFX depends upon the nature of X to give [pyCo(DH)2(CF2CFCIH)](X
Cl) and [pyCo(DH)2(CF
CF2)](X
Br) as the major isolated products.
