Hydrogen fluoride (fluorane) is an inorganic compound with chemical formula H F. ... 1,1-Difluoroethane is produced by adding HF to acetylene using mercury as a catalyst.
Hydrofluoric acid is a solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) in water.Solutions of HF are colorless, acidic and highly corrosive.A common concentration is 49% (48-52%) but there are also stronger solutions (e.g. 70%) and pure HF has a boiling point near room temperature.
Fluorination with aminosulfuranes is a chemical reaction that transforms oxidized organic compounds into organofluorine compounds.Aminosulfuranes selectively exchange hydroxyl groups for fluorine, but are also capable of converting carbonyl groups, halides, silyl ethers, and other functionality into organofluorides.
The acidity of fluoroboric acid is complicated by the fact that its name refers to a range of different compounds, e.g. [H(CH 3 CH 2) 2 O] + [BF 4] − (dimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate), [H 3 O] + [BF 4] − (oxonium tetrafluoroborate), and HF·BF 3 (hydrogen fluoride-boron trifluoride 1:1 adduct) – each with a different acidity.
Hydrogen fluoride does not boil until 20 °C in contrast to the heavier hydrogen halides which boil between −85 °C and −35 °C (−120 °F and –30 °F). HF is miscible with water (will dissolve in any proportion), while the other hydrogen halides have large solubility gaps with water.
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) and aluminium chloride (AlCl 3) are the two major catalysts for the alkylation of benzene with linear mono-olefins. The HF-based process is commercially dominant; however, the risk of releasing HF (a poisonous substance) into the environment became a concern particularly after the Clean Air Act Amendment.
The Simons process, named after Joseph H. Simons entails electrolysis of a solution of an organic compound in a solution of hydrogen fluoride. An individual reaction can be described as: R 3 C–H + HF → R 3 C–F + H 2. In the course of a typical synthesis, this reaction occurs once for each C–H bond in the precursor.
Fluoroantimonic acid is a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and antimony pentafluoride, containing various cations and anions (the simplest being H 2 F + and SbF − 6).This mixture is a superacid stronger than pure sulfuric acid, by many orders of magnitude, according to its Hammett acidity function.
