Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## in which R is a C.sub.1 - to C.sub.22 -alkyl radical,

Substituted thieno�3,2b!thiophenes and their use

The invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## which R is hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl, to a process for their preparation and to their use as electrophilic fluorinating agents.

1,2,3-Oxathiazin-4(3F)-one 2,2-dioxides, a process for their preparation

The invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are, independently of one another, hydrogen, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2, CN, halogen, --S(NSO.sub.2 CF.sub.3)CF.sub.3, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl, phenyl, SO.sub.2 R.sup.5, COOR.sup.5, NR.sub.2.sup.5, where R.sup.5 is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl, which can also be fluorinated, or phenyl, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together form an aliphatic or aromatic ring which can also contain an oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom. The invention further provides a process for preparing the compounds of the formula (I), which comprises reacting compounds of the formula (II) ##STR2## where R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 are as defined above and X is hydrogen or an alkali metal, with elemental fluorine in the presence of an inert solvent and, if desired, an alkali metal fluoride at low temperatures. The invention further provides for the use of the compounds of the formula (I) for the fluorination of compounds having carbanion character.

An optical component comprises an electromagnetic radiation-transparent polymeric medium having a second-order susceptibility of at least 10.sup.-9 electrostatic units where this polymeric medium comprises compounds having polar-aligned noncentrosymmetric molecular dipoles which have as structural element an electron acceptor which is bound to an electron donor via a conjugated .pi.-electron system, which makes possible an oscillation of the molecular dipole between a ground state having a first dipole moment and an electronically excited state having a second dipole moment different from the first, and the nonionic polymeric medium comprises an alternating arrangement of at least one Langmuir-Blodgett film each of at least two different nonionic polymers having nonlinear optical properties. Besides high mechanical and chemical stability the optical component of the invention has excellent nonlinear optical properties, for example frequency-doubling.
