The Application of Thermolytic Reactions for the Syntheses of Fluoro-Organic Compounds

Abstract
Methods for synthesising fluoro-organic compounds with the aid of thermolytic processes are discussed. High-temperature transformations of fluorinated saturated and unsaturated compounds, as well as of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds are considered. 1. Thermolysis of Saturated Compounds 1.1.
