Reaction of Hexafluorobenzene with Trimethylsilyl Ethers

摘要

In the work reported here, perfluoroaryl derivatives have been synthesized forstudy as potential stable fluids. This is a class of compounds that, whilst well known and studied extensively, has not been explored or developed for its potential as stable fluids. Since there are six sites available for derivatization when using hexafluorobenzene as starting material, aromatic products composed of a variety of functional and structural moieties can be synthesized. These structural and functional groups, as well as their substitution pattern, can be selectively chosen to impart high thermal and oxidative stabilities, good low-temperature flow characteristics and good lubricating properties.
