Abstract
The writer's interest was aroused in the synthesis of organic fluorides while taking a course in Organic Preparations. The fact that fluorine chemistry was something relatively recent made the topic especially appealing. While the chloro, bromo, and iodo derivatives of most of the homologous series had been prepared, many of the fluorine compounds had not. Previous research had disclosed the asymmetrical diaryl ethanes possessed peculiar properties - to mention one, fluorescence. It was proposed that a few of the asymmetrical diaryl ethanes having fluorine and chlorine substituted on the ring in various positions with respect to one another be prepared and their physical properties determined. This type of compound containing both fluorine and chlorine had never been prepared before, as far as could be determined.
