Oxidation and chlorination reactions of perfluoroketene-N,S-acetals

The paper presents the results of the investigation of oxidation and chlorination reactions of perfluoroketene-N,S-acetals. Oxidation reactions of perfluoroketene-N,S-acetals proved to be dependent on the nature of oxidizing agent and led to the formation of corresponding sulfone in the case of m-chloroperbenzoic acid or amides of α-H-perfluoroalkane carboxylic acids in the case of tert-butyl hydroperoxide or hydrogen peroxide. Reaction of 1-tert-butylsulfanyl-2,3,3,4,4,4-hexafluoro-1-[N-methyl,N-((S)-α-methylbenzyl)amino]-but-1-ene with sulfuryl chloride demonstrated the chlorination of perfluoroketene-N,S-acetals as a new approach in the synthesis of chiral α-chloro perfluoroalkane carboxylic acid amides.
