Abstract

@,@-Difluoro-a-(trifluoromethy1) styrenes (DFT styrenes) are useful building blocks in organofluorine chemistry. The unique biological properties' that fluorine imparts to organic molecules are well-known, and the title compounds have been utilized as precursors for the preparation of antiinflammatory2 and antifertility3 compounds. DFT styrenes also find useful application as monomers: since fluorine enhances the thermal and chemical stability of ...
