Abstract

Oligomers of perfluoroalkenes are converted to dienes in good yields, using sodium amalgam; these dienes are highly susceptible to nucleophilic attack and can be excellent sources of heterocycles. ... Perfluoro-alkenes and -cycloalkenes may be oligomerised in fluoride ion-induced processes, leading to various synthetic- ally more sophisticated systems;l eg a tetramer (1) and other oligomers may be obtained from tetrafluoroethylene,2 a dimer (2) from ...
