A Voltammetric Study of the Kolbe Synthesis with Perfluorinated Oxa Acids:Influence of the Structure of the Fluorocarbon Residue

摘要

The Kolbe synthesis with two perfluorinated oxa acids,perfluoro-3,7-dioxa-2-methyloctanoic and perfluorotetrahydro-a-furylacetic,was studied voltammetrically on platinum and glassy carbon anodes in water-acetonitrile and methanol-acetonitrile solutions.The influence exerted on the process by the acid concentration,degree of its neutralization,and solvent was studied.The solvent-anode system exerts a differentiating effect on the reactivity of perfluorinated acids under the conditions of the Kolbe synthesis.
