Synthesis of Perfluorinated Ethers by Solution Phase Direct Fluorination: An Adaptation of the La-Mar Technique
Abstract
The synthesis of several perfluorinated ethers of pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, and tripentaerythritol by direct fluorination in solution is described. These ethers were perfluorinated using elemental fluorine in a two step process. In the first step, up to 95 percent of the hydrogens were replaced by fluorine while the ether was dissolved in a chlorofluorocarbon solvent. The remaining hydrogens were replaced by exposing the partially fluorinated product of pure fluorine at elevated temperature. Thesis.
