Abstract The reaction of CF2CF2OSO 2 with haloalkanes (RX, X= Cl, Br, I) in the presence of metal fluorides, MF (M= K+, Cs+, Ag+) was studied as a means for preparing novel reactive polyfluoroalkoxy-sulfonyl fluorides. The following compounds have been prepared and characterized: ROCF 2 CF 2 SO 2 F where R= CF 2= CFCH 2 CH 2, SF 5 CH 2 CH 2,-CH 2-,- CH 2 CH 2-, CH 3 CH 2 CH 2, BrCH 2 CH 2, CH 2= CHCH 2, CH 2= CHC (o).
