Fully fluorinated alkoxides. Part II. Ethoxides, propoxides, and butoxides

Abstract

Ionic, fully fluorinated, ethoxides, n-propoxides, isopropoxides, and n-butoxides of the heavier alkali metals may be made by the reaction of the appropriate acyl fluoride, or of hexafluoroacetone, with the metal fluoride. Factors affecting the stability and possible synthetic use of such compounds are discussed, together with n.m.r. (nuclear magnetic resonance) and infrared spectral data.
