| Application: | Hexafluorobenzene can react with: • Ethyl magnesium bromide in the presence of transition metal halides to form the corresponding perfluoroarylmagnesium compound that can undergo Grignard reactions. • The sodium salt of the appropriate phenol in 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolid It can be used: • As a ligand to synthesize novel ruthenium(0) and osmium(0) hexafluorobenzene complexes. • As a solvent and promoter for the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) to form tetrasubstituted olefins in the presence of a ruthenium-based catalyst. |
