Participants

Reaction Steps

Dry chlorine gas was passed for 2 hrs into a solution of 81.0 g (0.124 mole) of tris(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethoxy)methyl trichloromethyl disulfide in 300 ml of dry 1,2-dichloroethane at 60°-65° C. The solution was allowed to stand at ambient temperature overnight before the volatiles were removed with a stream of nitrogen and heating at 60°-65° C. The cooled residue was stirred with 300 ml of dry hexanes to give tris(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl)chloroorthoformate as an insoluble white solid. The hexanes solution was decanted from the solid which was washed with hexanes.
