FREE RADICAL CHEMISTRY, PART 5. A NEW APPROACH TO THE SYNTHESIS OF PERFLUORINATED ETHERS
Fluorinations of the free-radical adducts of fluorinated alkenes, to ethers, over cobalt trifluoride are described and perfluorinated ethers are obtained at temperatures in excess of 400 deg C.The effect of structure on the formation of perfluoroethers is outlined.
