Abstract

Abstract The reactions of perfluoro-1-methyl-and-1-ethyl-benzocyclobutenes with Lewis acids (SbF 5, AlCl 3, AlBr 3) have been studied. a four-membered ring expansion, unknown earlier in the halogenated series, has been found. The mechanism of the process differs from that for non-fluorinated analogues.
