Abstract

The reaction of fluorine with n-dodecane adsorbed on porous aluminium fluoride (PAF) proceeds with up to 90% selectivity for all monofluorinated dodecane and more than 30% selectivity for terminal fluorinated dodecane, which provides a novel means for preparing mono and terminal linear fluorinated alkanes. In the reaction, PAF with a large surface area is chosen as support to adsorb the linear hydrocarbon.
