Abstract
Abstract 1,3-Bis-(trifluoromethyl)benzene has been fluorinated over potassium tetrafluorocobaltate under conditions where the bulk of the products are lightly fluorinated. Two aromatic products, 1-fluoro-2,4-bis-(trifluoromethyl)benzene and 1-fluoro-3,5-bis-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, are formed initially, the two associated 1,4-dienes being also found. The mechanistical implications are discussed, along with probable further reaction pathways.
