Abstract

The synthesis of a fluorous diol 4 bearing a perfluorodecyl chain was described. A series of boronic acid were attached to 4 by esterification. The purification of the products was fulfilled by facile filtration instead of expensive and environmental troublesome fluorous liquid–liquid extraction. The Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of the formed fluorous boronates 5 underwent smoothly and the fluorous diol 4 was recycled in good yields.
