Perfluorocycloalkene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A perfluorocycloalkene (PFCA) fluorocarbon structure with a cycloalkene core. PFCAs have shown reactivity with a wide variety of nucleophiles including phenoxides, alkoxides, organometallic, amines, thiols, and azoles.[1] They or their derivatives are reported to have nonlinear optical activity,[2] and be useful as lubricants,[3] etching agents,[4] components of fuel cells,[5] low-dielectric materials, and superhydrophobic and oleophobic coatings.[6]

Reactivity

[edit]

Derivatization of these PFCA rings via displacement of fluorine atoms with nucleophiles occurs through an addition-elimination reaction in the presence of a base. Attack of the nucleophile on the PFCA ring generates a carbanion which can eliminate a fluoride ion, resulting in vinyl substituted and allyl substituted products (Scheme 1). The ratio of vinylic to allylic products depends on the ring size, reaction conditions, and nucleophile.[1][7]

Derivatization of the PFCA ring
Scheme 1: Derivatization of the PFCA ring[1]

Under favorable conditions, a good nucleophile can replace all the fluorine atoms on PFCA ring (Scheme 2).[8]

Scheme 2: Multi-substitution of imidazole or 1,2,4-triazole onto PFCA ring[1][8]

PFCAs have a huge potential to be used as a monomer to produce a variety of polymers. The first time, Smith et al. showed the polycondensation of bisphenols with PFCAs. A unique class of aromatic ether polymers containing perfluorocyclopentenyl (PFCP) enchainment was prepared from the simple step-growth polycondensation of commercial available bisphenols and octafluorocyclopentene (OFCP) in the presence of triethylamine (Scheme 3 and 4).[6][9]

Scheme 4. Bis(heptafluorocyclopentenyl) aryl ether monomers synthesis and polymerization[9]

Smith et al. further extended his recently published work on perfluorocyclopentenyl (PFCP) aryl ether polymers and perfuorocycloalkenyl (PFCA) aryl ether monomers, and reported the synthesis of a new class of fluoropolymers, namely, perfluorocyclohexenyl (PFCH) aryl ether polymers, via step-growth polycondensation of commercial bisphenols and decafluorocycloalkene (DFCH) in the presence of triethylamine (Scheme 5).[7][10]

Scheme 5. Perfluorocycloalkenyl (PFCA) aryl ether polymer synthesis[7][10]
