| Abstract;Reactions of perfluoroalkyl iodides with styrene and its derivatives were investigated under radial conditions in the presence of oxygen. The photochemical reactions of .ALPHA.-methylstyrene and its derivatives with CF3(CF2)nI (n=3,5,9) in the presence of hexabutylditin under oxygen produced the perfluoroalkylated alcohols in good yields. Furthermore, the reactions of .ALPHA.-methylstyrene with CF3(CF2)nI (n=3,5,9) and Na2S2.OMICRON.4 in the presence of base under air formed the same alcohols in good yields. The alcohols were found to provide novel type of .ALPHA.-fluoroalkylated styrenes by acidic dehydration. Perfluoroalkylated .ALPHA.,.BETA.-unsaturated ketones were synthesized by oxygenative perfluoroalkylations of .ALPHA.-chlorostyrene using CF3(CF2)nI (n=3,5,9) under the radical reaction conditions. The ketones were found to be good synthetic building blocks for perfluoroalkylated heterocycles, such as razoles, dihydrodiazepines, rimidines and isoxazoles. (author abst.) |
