Abstract:
New organozinc reagents were obtained from ethyl esters of tetrafluorophenylene dicarboxylic acids in the reaction with Zn and SnCl2 in DMF. Tetraethyl perfluorobiphenyl tetracarboxylates were synthesized from these organozinc reagents under the action of CuCl2 and then were hydrolyzed into perfluorobiphenyl tetracarboxylic acids.
