Perfluoro-oxa-alkanoyl peroxides <2, n= 0, 1, 2> smoothly reacted with thiophene and furan under mild conditions to afford 2-perfluoro-oxa-alkylthiophenes and furans in good yields.Perfluoro-oxa-alkylations of benzene and pyrrole were also found to proceed by the use of these peroxides.Furthermore, these peroxides were found to be applied to direct aromatic perfluoro-oxa-alkylations of polystyrene.
