Questions about format responses
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I have a question and hope you can help me. During the production process, it was found that the enamel-lined reaction vessels used for the formation reaction were severely corroded and heavily rusted. After carrying out the formation reaction and adding trifluorobenzyl cyanide, the mixture was refluxed at 85 degrees Celsius. I’m wondering whether this is due to residual F ions in the raw materials, or whether the formation reaction itself causes damage to the equipment. I hope you can analyze this for me. Thank you!
Format reactions can also rust? I’ve never heard of that before!
The question you’ve asked is quite strange; format reactions require an anhydrous environment, so rusting generally does not occur； Moreover, glass-lined steel is inherently resistant to acids and not prone to corrosion; so the problem in your case is likely not related to the raw materials or the reaction process
