Benzene → HCID 20510790, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 g (1.30×10-3 mol) of di(trifluoroacetoxy)iodoheptadecafluoro-n-octane was suspended in 6.0 ml of trifluoroacetic acid, and 0.173 ml (1.95×10-3 mol) of benzene and then 0.0843 ml (1.30×10-3 mol) of methanesulfonic acid were added dropwise to the suspension, followed by allowing the mixture to react for 2 weeks at room temperature. The reaction mixture was dried up and a small amount of acetonitrile was added thereto to obtain 240 mg (26% yield) of heptadecafluoro-n-octylphenyliodonium methanesulfonate as white crystals. A sample of the resulting product was recrytallized from acetonitrile for elementary analysis and measurements of spectra. The data obtained are shown below. Melting Point: 140°-141° C.
