General description

1-Fluorooctane undergoes C-F bond-cleavage reaction with phenyl magnesium chloride to give n-octylbenzene. It reacts rapidly with trimethylsilyl iodide to give corresponding octyl iodides and trimethylsilyl fluoride.

Application

1-Fluorooctane has been used as a molecular probe in evaluations of gas chromatographic stationary phases consisting of bromo- and chloro-derivatives of a C78 branched alkane.

An unexpected C-F bond-cleavage reaction of unactivated fluoroalkanes with the well-known Grignard reagents without using metal catalysts has been discovered. For example, a reaction between 1-fluorooctane and phenyl magnesium chloride gave n-octylbenzene in moderate yield. This coupling reaction via the
