Abstract

Tetrakis (dimethylamino) ethene (TDAE) and trimethylamine react with anhydrous unsaturated fluorocarbons to produce,'in situ', powerful fluoride-ion sources. These are used to initiate carbon-carbon bond forming reactions eg. oligomerisation and polyfluoroalkylation, and many of these reactions occur efficiently in the absence of a solvent.
