Synthesis of Pentafluorophenyl or Chlorotetrafluorophenyl Allenes
Abstract
The sequential reaction of phosphonium salt 1 with n-butyllithium, hexafluorobenzene or chloropentafluorobenzene, hexanoyl chloride and triethylamine affords pentalfuorophenyl or chlorotetrafluorophenyl allenes in 82–95% yields.
