A series of nucleophiles was reacted with 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9-tridecafluoro-5- trifluoromethyl-3, 6-dioxanon-1-ene (1) as a representative of perfluoro (alkyl vinyl ethers). All reactions were completely regioselective with the nucleophilic attack at the terminal carbon atom. Reactions of hydroxy compounds, thiols and sec-amines afforded addition products, but butyllithium, tributylphosphane or complex hydrides caused displacement of ...
