Chinese research in organofluorine chemistry

摘要: Publisher Summary China is rich in fluorspar deposits, but it was only the late fifties of twentieth century, did her fluorine chemistry and industry begin to develop. Before that, its limited production anhydrous HF small amounts simple fluorocarbons for use as refrigerants, a few chemists were devoted organofluorine chemistry. Early 1960, order fully utilize country's resources organofluofine chemistry—ranging from technical know-how equipment facilities—the Chinese Academy Sciences decided that main researchers should be centered on Shanghai Institute Organic Chemistry (SIOC). Thus, group at Beijing headed by Professor X. K. Jiang Dr Q. Y. moved join teams there Professors W. Huang Z. Huang, thereby founding SIOC's Department Fluorine Chemistry. The relationship between China other countries got greatly enhanced through visits overseas experts. novel effective way converting CF2I into CF2SO2Na marked discovery sulfinato-dehalogenation (halogen = I, Br, C1) reaction Metal-promoted addition RFI electron-rich alkenes alkynes established 1980 Chen et al.
