During the reaction of halogenoethenes (Z+E)-CHX=CFX with sodium methoxide and with sodium p-thiocresolate in methanol initial attack by the nucleophilic takes place at the carbon atom attached to the fluorine atom.In the reactions with sodium methoxide the intermediate monosubstitution products are more reactive than the initial halogenoethenes, and the main reaction products are the ortho esters CHXYC(OMe)3.An "element effect", i.e., concurrent substitution of F and Cl(Br) in the reaction with sodium methoxide, was discovered.With sodium p-thiocresolate trifluorochloroethene gives the product from substitution of the chlorine atom and a small amount of the addition product as impurity.The other ethenes give substitution, addition, and halogenophilic reduction products and also the products from further transformations (hydrolysis and decarboxylation).
