Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride → Lithium (perfluorooctane)sulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1 was followed using perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (11.8 g, 23.5 mmol), lithium trimethylsilanolate (2.25 g, 23.4 mmol), and dry tetrahydrofuran (150 mL). The product, lithium perfluorooctanesulfonate (6.6 g, 55% yield), was isolated as a white solid by concentrating the filtrate under vacuum: 19F NMR (tetrahydrofuran) δ -81.2 (t, J=8.5 Hz, CF3 --, 3F), -114.6 (m, --CF2CO2⊕, 2 F), -120.6 (m, --CF2, 2F), -121.7 (m, CF2, 6F), -122.7 (m, CF2, 2F), -126.2 ppm (m, CF3CF2, 2F).
