Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of sulfodifluoroacetic acid (HOSO2CF2CO2H) in the presence of Cl2 or Br2 gives halodifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The anodic oxidation of sulfodifluoromethanecarboxylate ion to form the sulfodifluoromethyl radical as an intermediate is proposed as the rate-determining step.
