"In this book fundamental features and industrial applications of the direct fluorination of polymers are reviewed. Direct fluorination of polymers (i.e. treatment of a polymer surface with gaseous fluorine and its mixtures) proceeds at room temperature spontaneously and can be considered as a surface modification process."--BOOK JACKET.
Modern Synthesis Processes and Reactivity of Fluorinated Compounds focuses on the exceptional character of fluorine and fluorinated compounds. This comprehensive work explores examples taken from all classes of fluorine chemistry and illustrates the extreme reactivity of fluorinating media and the peculiar synthesis routes to fluorinated materials. The book provides advanced and updated information on the latest synthesis routes to fluorocompounds and the involved reaction mechanisms. Special attention is given to the unique reactivity of fluorine and fluorinated media, along with the correlation of those properties to valuable applications of fluorinated compounds. Contains quality content edited, and contributed, by leading scholars in the field Presents applied guidance on the preparation of original fluorinated compounds, potentially transferable from the lab scale to industrial applications Provides practical synthesis information for a wide audience interested in fluorine compounds in many branches of chemistry, materials science, and physics
During the past fifteen years commercial interest in compounds containing carbon fluorine bonds has burgeoned beyond all expectations, mainly owing to business opportunities arising from work on biologically active fluoroorganics-particularly agrochemicals, the relentless search for new markets for fluoropolymers and fluoro carbon fluids, developments in the field of medical diagnostics, and the drive to find replacements for ozone-depleting CFCs and Halon fire-extinguishing agents. Judging the situation to warrant the publication of a comprehensive collection of up-to-date reviews dealing with commercial organofluorine compounds within a single volume of manageable size (and hence reasonable cost), we were delighted to be invited by Plenum Publishing Corporation to produce a suitable book. In order to provide an authentic and wide-ranging account of current commercial applications of fluoroorganic materials, it clearly was necessary to assemble a sizeable team of knowledgeable contributing authors selected almost entirely from industry. Through their efforts we have been able to produce an almost complete coverage of the modem organofluorochemicals business in a manner designed to attract a reader ship ranging from experts in the field, through chemists and technologists currently unaware of the extent of industrial involvement with fluoroorganics, to students of applied chemistry. Promised chapters dedicated to perfluoroolefin oxides and 18F labeling of radiopharmaceuticals failed to materialize. This is somewhat unfortunate in view of our aim to achieve comprehensive coverage of the subject.
The synthesis of perfluoro organic compounds by direct fluorination has been studied. The compounds studied included: ortho-toluic acid, meta-toluic acid, para-toluic acid, sodium acetate, diglycolic acid, diphenyl ether, 2- ethoxyethylacetate, 3-oxoglutaric acid, 2-oxoglutaric acid, methoxyasetic acid, methoxyphenoxyacetic acid, diethyl carbonate, malonic acid, adipic acid. These materials have been fluorinated at low concentrations of fluorine and at a variety of temperatures varying from room temperature to -78C. Invariably with extremely low fluorine con-centrations, the resulting products contained very little fluorinated material as evidenced by their infrared spectra. Under longer reaction times and/or higher fluorine concentrations, the materials tended to be degraded into low molecular weight volatiles. Polyethylene has been surface fluorinated and the kinetics of the process have been studied from 25 to 50 C. The rate of constants for each temperature and the activation energy of the process are reported. Natural rubber samples were surface treated with fluorine and appear to survive acceptably with a subsequent lowering of surface energy. Matrix isolation studies of organic molecules in fluorine matrices are also reported. The species studied were methane, ethane, ethylene, acetylene, and formic acid. It was found that fluorine molecules at 4-15 K behaved essentially like an inert substrate, but fluorine atoms, prepared in situ by photolysis, are very reactive and lead to various fluorinated derivatives.
Academia and industry join forces in Aromatic Fluorination, as an expert from each domain contributes to this new text on fluorination of carbocyclic and heterocyclic rings. The book begins with a discussion of fluorine's unique combination of properties, including size, electronic effects, and hydrophobicity, as well as the historical development of its product applications. It explains methods for introducing fluorine into an aromatic ring, focusing on nucleophilic fluorine transfer reactions. The role of catalysts, solvents, and other variables are examined, and the scope and limitations of the methods are discussed. Of particular interest to those working in non-specialist laboratories, Aromatic Fluorination includes detailed descriptions of the new electrophilic routes to fluoroaromatics, in addition to traditional routes and alternative methods involving radical chemistry. Because one of the most important fluorine-containing substituent is CF3, the book explains routes to benzotrifluorides (ArCF3), including traditional industrial methods and modern alternatives employing C-1 halofluorocarbons and other fluoroaliphatics. An alternative to CF3 is CF3S, and several methods of synthesizing aromatic CF3S-containing molecules are described. Since the successful development and diverse applications of aromatic fluorine compounds have led to the search for new compounds and novel substituents, the incorporation of other substituents is also explored. Aromatic Fluorination concludes with discussion of the factors responsible for the successful development of pharmaceutical, agrochemical and liquid crystal applications and the potential for applications in high-performance polymers and other areas. This section also describes in detail important industrial aromatic fluorination processes and the relative merits of different process technologies and their costs.

A convenient method has been found for the conversion of a polyethylene surface to a corresponding fluoro analog. The process involves the direct, uncatalyzed reaction of gaseous fluorine with the polymer surface. The resultant surface displays many properties attributable to completely fluorinated polymers such as Teflon. These properties include solvent resistance, thermal stability, and chemical inertness.
