Abstract 3-Chlorononafluoro-1, 5-hexadiene (I) is isomerized into 6-chlorononafluoro-1, 4- hexadiene (II) by action of basic catalysts as sodium cyanide in anhydrous dimethylformamide, lithium chloride in dimethylformamide, and triethylamine in dioxane or dimethylformamide. Sodium cyanide also catalyzes addition of methanol to the chlorodiene I. The reaction course is more complex than in the alkoxide-catalyzed addition of primary ...
