  • Patent number: 6737525
    Abstract: N-fluorotriazinium salts, especially those of the following Formula I, are electrophilic fluorinating agents useful in fluorinating, preferably in a nitromethane solvent, carbanionic species and/or activated aromatic compounds: wherein three A moieties are independently CR, where each R is, independently, hydrogen, halogen, (primary, secondary or tertiary) amino, hydroxyl, amino, cyano, perfluorothio hydroxysulfonyl, halosulfonyl, hydrocarbyloxysulfonyl, or a carbon-containing substituent selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbyloxycarbonyl, and hydrocarbylthio groups; two A moieties are independently Z, where each Z is independently nitrogen or a quaternary nitrogen atom and Y is a counterion or group of counterions which are inert to chemical attack by fluorine, and oligomers or polymers thereof in which adjacent triazinium moieties are linked by a common R substituent.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6664391
    Abstract: Novel N-fluorotriazinium electrophilic fluorinating agents have the Formula I: wherein three A moieties are independently CR, where each R is, independently, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, (primary, secondary or tertiary) amino, amino, cyano, perfluorothio, hydroxysulfonyl, halosulfonyl, hydrocarbyloxysulfonyl, or a carbon-containing substituent selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted hydrocarbyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbyloxycarbonyl, and hydrocarbylthio groups, and at least one R is neither hydrogen nor halogen; two A moieties are independently Z, where each Z is independently nitrogen or a quaternary nitrogen atom and Y is a counterion or group of counterions which are inert to chemical attack by fluorine, or adjacent triazinium moieties are linked by a common R substituent to provide an oligomer or polymer.

  • Patent number: 6635760
    Abstract: Aromatic compounds having one or more electron-withdrawing substituents are fluorinated, preferably in a nitromethane solvent, by contact with tri(halo- or trifluoromethyl) substituted N-fluorotriazinium salts of the following Formula I: wherein three A moieties are independently CR, where each R is independently halogen or trifluoromethyl; two A moieties are independently Z, where each Z is independently nitrogen or a quaternary nitrogen atom and Y is a counterion or group of counterions which are inert to chemical attack by fluorine. Preferably the cation of the salt is 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazinium.

  • Patent number: 3965184
    Abstract: Compositions of matter including the structural unit ##EQU1## wherein R.sub. F ' is a divalent polyfluoroalkylene group having a chain length of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may be substituted at one or more positions with chloro-or polyfluoroalkyl, chlorofluoroalkyl or polyfluorocycloalkyl groups containing up to six carbon atoms; and R.sub.F is a monovalent straight or branched chain, or cyclic, polyfluoroalkyl group or a chlorofluoroalkyl group containing up to ten carbon atoms and the R.sub.F groups are the same or different or is a divalent polyfluoroalkylene group having a chain length of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms which may be substituted at one or more positions with chloro or polyfluoroalkyl, chlorofluoroalkyl or polyfluorocycloalkyl groups containing up to six carbon atoms and the R.sub.F groups are interconnected to form a cyclic structure.
