Conclusions
-
1.
By the condensation of hexafluoroacetone and pentafluoronitroacetone with aromatic hydrocarbons the corresponding substituted benzyl alcohols were synthesized. It was shown that in this reaction pentafluoronitroacetone is less active than hexafluoroacetone.
-
2.
Inα-(difluoronitromethyl)-α-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohols the difluoronitromethyl group is readily eliminated with formation of the corresponding ketones.
-
3.
p-Methyl-α,α-bistrifluoromethylbenzyl alcohol is an intermediate product in the synthesis of hexafluoro-2,2 -di-p-tolylpropane.
