This work describes a new concept in direct fluorination methodology and an apparatus designed to achieve conditions necessary for the rapid, continuous partial or complete fluorination of hydrocarbon molecules under controlled conditions of temperature and concentration.Results from the fluorination of neopentane are presented which indicate that although the degree of fluorination for a given set of conditions indicates a Gaussian distribution, investigation of specific isomers indicates significant deviations from statistical isomer distributions in fluorinated neopentanes.Photochemical assisted fluorinations of neopentane, 1,4-dioxane, cyclohexane, and 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane are described which produce the perfluorinated analogues directly in good purity and in high yields.
