Organic Fluorine Compounds. Part XLII. The Reaction of Amides of α‐Bromoacids with Potassium Fluoride

Abstract

AbstractThe reaction of potassium fluoride with α‐bromocarboxylic acid anilides, substituted in the α‐ or β‐position, causes dehydrohalogenation and gives α, β‐unsaturated anilides. Long‐chain α,α′‐dibromodicarboxylic acid (>C8) anilides give in the same reaction essentially α,αprime;‐di‐fluorocarboxylic acid anilides.
