✦ Synopsis
Electrochemical fluorination of chlorobenzene (1) in neat Et,NF mHF (Et = C,H, : m = 4.0, 4.45 and 4.7) was carried out on a platinum anode at 2.3 or 2.5 V vs. Ag/Ag' (0.01 M; M = mol dme3).
As the primary products, I-chloro-2-fluorobenzene (2) and 1-chloro-4-fluorobenzene (3) were obtained, whose molar ratio (Z/3) was about 1:3. The product 2 was further fluorinated to 1-chloro-3,6,6-trifluoro-1,4-cyclohexadiene (2a) with a high yield. On the other hand, the electrochemical fluorination of 3 yielded 3-chloro-3,6,6-trifluoro-1,4-cyclohexadiene (319, 2thloro-5,5,6-trifluoro-1,3-cyclohexadiene (3b) and 3,3,6, 6-tetrafluoro-1,Ccyclohexadiene (6a). A larger amount of 6 was obtained at the final stages of the electrolyses of 1 and 3. The yield of 6a varied with the electrolysis conditions.
