Compound Q&A
How is Octafluoronaphthalene (CAS: 313-72-4) typically synthesized?
Answer
Octafluoronaphthalene is typically synthesized through the fluorination of naphthalene using fluorine gas (F2) in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as trifluoromethylsulfonic acid (CF3SO3H). The reaction is carried out under anhydrous conditions and requires careful temperature control to achieve high yields and selectivity.
