The addition of thiols to chlorofluoroethylenes was carried out under γ-ray irradiation; chlorofluoroethyl alkyl sulfides were thus obtained. Ghlorofluoroethyl alkyl sulfoxides and sulfones were prepared by the oxidation of the sulfides. The dehydrohalogenation of chlorofluoroethyl alkyl sulfides yielded chlorofluorovinyl alkyl sulfides, whose structure indicated that the thiyl radical attacked the difluoromethylene side of the asymmetrical ...
