Abstract
Abstract Perfluoro-n-octylmagnesium bromide has been conveniently synthesized through the metal-halogen exchange reaction between perfluoro-n-octyl iodide and ethyl- or phenyl-magnesium bromide. The thermal stability of the Grignard reagent and the products of the thermal decomposition have been estimated in diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran. Reactions of the Grignard reagent with various substrates such as water, acetone, hexafluoroacetone, trimethylchlorosilane and carbon dioxide indicate the synthetic utility of n-octylmagnesium bromide.
