Abstract

The novel hypofluorous acid-acetonitrile complex, easily prepared from fluorine and water, is a general epoxidizing reagent, even for unreactive olefins which can not be directly epoxidized by other means. This epoxidation method does have its limitations, however. Extremely electron deficient or electron poor, sterically hindered olefins resist epoxidation by HOF-CH 3 CN. In contrast to the reactivity of 1, for example, both C 4 F 9 C-H=CHC 4 F 9 and compounds of type R f CF(CF 3 )CH=CH 2 are practically inert
