Syntheses, structures, and stabilities of aliphatic and aromatic fluorous iodine(I) and iodine(III) compounds: the role of iodine Lewis basicity.

ABSTRACT: The title molecules are sought in connection with various synthetic applications. The aliphatic fluorous alcohols R_fn CH₂OH (R_fn = CF₃(CF₂) _n-1; n = 11, 13, 15) are converted to the triflates R_fn CH₂OTf (Tf₂O, pyridine; 22-61%) and then to R_fn CH₂I (NaI, acetone; 58-69%). Subsequent reactions with NaOCl/HCl give iodine(III) dichlorides R_fn CH₂ICl₂ (n = 11, 13; 33-81%), which slowly evolve Cl₂. The ethereal fluorous alcohols CF₃CF₂CF₂O(CF(CF₃)CF₂O)
