- showed a mixture of stereoisomers with a 2:1 ratio. The dehydrohalogenation reaction of 2-chloro-3-iodo-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutane (5) was studied. Like the dehydrobromination of alkane 2, the reaction of compound 5 with 1.3 equivalents of KOH in water in the presence of 5 mol % of Bu4NBr was carried
- noted that the reaction of alkane 5 with DBU or Hünig’s base in Et2O or dimethoxyethane (DME) as a solvent, resulted only in the formation of 2-chloro-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-enes 6a,b (Scheme 5). Unfortunately, due to difficulties in separation from solvent, olefins 6a,b in this case were not
- , product 16 represented a mixture of stereoisomers in 2:1 ratio. After isolation by distillation butane 16 was characterized by 1H, 19F, 13C NMR and mass spectra. The reaction of alkane 16 with DBU in pentane as a solvent led exclusively to dehydrobromination with the formation of a mixture of (Z)- and (E
