The Perfluoro-t-butyl Anion in the Synthesis of Organofluorine Compounds

Abstract

Methods for the generation and reactions of the perfluoro-t-butyl anion — a convenient model for the investigation of the chemistry of perfluoroalkyl carbanions, are examined. Syntheses based on this anion lead to the formation of a wide variety of compounds containing the (CF3)3C group. The bibliography includes 76 references.
