Solvent effects play a critical role in ionic chemical reactions and have been research topic for long time. The solvent molecules the first solvation shell of solute are most important solvating species. Consequently, manipulation structure this can be used to control reactivity selectivity reactions. In work, we report extensive experimental insightful computational studies adding diverse fluorinated bulky alcohols with different abilities fluorination reaction alkyl bromides potassium fluoride promoted by 18-crown-6. We found that stoichiometric amount these acetonitrile solution has an effect on kinetics selectivity. effective alcohol was 2-trifluoromethyl-2-propanol (TBOH-F3), use 3 equiv fluorinate primary bromide led 78% yield just 6 h time at mild temperature 82 °C, 8% E2 yield. more challenging secondary substrate obtained 44% 56% 18 More six or fluorine atoms resulted relatively acidic alcohols, leading large amounts corresponding ethers as side products. widely hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) least one monofluorination, indicating both acidity bulkiness features promoting using KF salt. Nevertheless, ether HFIP easily formed substrate, generating highly product. Theoretical calculations predict ΔG ‡ close agreement experiments explain higher induced relation crown alone.
