Perfluoro Alkyl Hypofluorites and Peroxides Revisited.

ABSTRACT: A more convenient synthesis of the perfluoro alkyl hypofluorite (F₃ C)₃ COF as well as the hitherto unknown (C₂ F₅ )(F₃ C)₂ COF compound is reported. Both hypofluorites can be prepared by use of the corresponding tertiary alcohols R^F OH and elemental fluorine in the presence of CsF. An appropriate access to these highly reactive hypofluorites is crucial. The hypofluorites are then transferred into their corresponding perfluoro bisalkyl peroxides R^F OOR^F [R^F =(F₃ C)₃ C, (C₂ F₅ )(F₃ C)₂ C] by treatment with partially fluorinated silver wool. NMR, gas-phase infrared, and solid-state Raman spectra of the perfluoro bisalk
