Abstract

The reactions of a number of saturated aliphatic halogen compounds have been studied with arsenic trifluoride using various catalysts. The fluorination can be done in laboratory glassware with a minimum of etching. The advantages of AsF 3 are its liquid state and its ready miscibility with many organic liquids, allowing a wide range of reaction conditions. At atmospheric pressure one or two fluorine atoms could be introduced selectively into a CCl 3 group of polyhaloalkanes. Reaction of mono- and dichloroalkanes resulted in tar formation. The degree of fluorination of selected halogenated groups was established and the influences of various reaction conditions (time, temperature, catalyst and concentration) were determined.
