Abstract

The reaction of methyl hypofluorite (MeOF) with certain fluoroolefins, such as CF2 CF2, CF2 CFCF3, CF2 CFOCF3, CF2 CFOMe, CF2 CClF, CF2 CHF, CF2 CH2, CHF CH2, CF2 CFCF CF2, occurred in CD3CN or in the presence of NaF. Using neat MeOF in the presence of NaF was a novel method and gave good results. We observed that when more than three fluorine atoms are bonded to the C C double bond, the addition ...
