Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to compounds for preparing fluorocarbon compounds, methods for preparing fluorocarbon compounds, and methods for purifying a mixture of compounds. One aspect of the present invention relates to a trivalent iodonium fluorocarbon. The trivalent iodonium fluorocarbon compound of the invention is useful for attaching a fluorocarbon group to a compound that has a nucleophilic functional group. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing a trivalent iodonium fluorocarbon. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing a fluorocarbon by treating a compound bearing a nucleophilic functional group with a trivalent iodonium fluorocarbon compound. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method or purifying a mixture comprising a first and a second compound by treating the mixture with a trivalent iodonium fluorocarbon to attach a fluorocarbon group to the second compound leaving the first compound unchanged, and purifying the mixture by fluorous-phase purification.
