Abstracts

Information of the last 10 years regarding methods of synthesis and properties of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids and some of its derivatives is listed and analyzed here. The opportunities of using the perfluoroalkane halides and syntons on the basis of perfluoroalkylsilicon derivatives for these purposes are uncovered. The main attention is paid to practical aspects of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids salts and bis(perfluoroalkylsulfonyl)imides using as catalysts of different processes, electrolytes, ionic liquids and N-F bond containing compounds as mild fluorinating reagents. The ways of using of perfluoroalkanesulfonic acids derivatives in organic synthesis are discussed.
