Popis: 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran with potassium tetrafluorocobaltate(III) at 200 °C gave largely 3H, 4H-2-difluoromethyltrifluoro-3-oxolen. Further fluorination of this by cobalt trifluoride at 120–150 °C afforded many of the stereoisomers expected from saturation of the double bond, and from further replacement of one, and of two hydrogens; viz:- four 3H, 4H-2-difluoromethyl- and two 3H, 4H-2-trifluoromethyl- pentafluoro-oxolans; two 3H- and two 4H- 2- difluoromethylhexafluoro-oxolans; two 3H- and two 4H- 2-trifluoromethylhexafluoro-oxolans. The two trans-3, 4-difluoro-adducts of the starting 3-oxolen were the major individual products, followed by the two cis-analogues, which altogether comprised some 63% of the material isolated. These trans-isomers were interconverted by heated aluminium fluoride, and the 4H/3H-stereoisomer reacted with aluminium chloride by exchanging the α-fluorines for chlorines.
