Synthesis and Epoxidation of 1,3-, 1,4-, and 1,5-Alkadienes with Pentafluoro-λ⁶-sulfanyl (SF₅) Groups

Abstract

This paper describes a convenient and efficient synthesis of new pentafluoro-λ⁶-sulfanyl-containing 1,3-, 1,4- and 1,5-alkadienes and their epoxidation. These compounds are useful as monomers or as intermediates in the preparation of polymers, polymer surface coating and SF₅-containing heterocyclic compounds.

Key words

alkenes - epoxidations - fluorine - sulfur
