Abstract
Abstract 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran and 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran have been fluorinated with potassium tetrafluorocobaltate(III). The major product in the former case was 2-difluoromenthyl-2,5,5-trifluoro-3-oxolen, and in the latter a mixture of the cis and trans isomers of 2,5-bis-(difluoromethyl)-2,5-difluoro-3-oxolen, both ca . 90% of the appropriate product mixture. Fluorination pathways postulated earlier predicted these results, and are discussed further.
