AI Article Synopsis

  • The first X-ray crystal structure of an α-fluoroalcohol, heptafluorocyclobutanol, has been successfully identified.
  • Heptafluorocyclobutanol was synthesized in high yield from hexafluorocyclobutanone using HF addition in a dry hydrogen fluoride environment.
  • The compound, along with its hydrolysis product hexafluorocyclobutane-1,1-diol, was characterized using X-ray diffraction techniques.

Article Abstract

The first X-ray crystal structure of an α-fluoroalcohol is reported. Heptafluorocyclobutanol was obtained in quantitative yield from hexafluorocyclobutanone by HF addition in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The compound was characterized by its X-ray single crystal structure. Heptafluorocyclobutanol readily undergoes hydrolysis to hexafluorocyclobutane-1,1-diol, which was also structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction.
