The ionic oligomerization of eight nitrogen-containing perfluoroacyl fluorides with hexafluoropropene oxide (HFPO) has been investigated.The 1:1 adducts of the acyl fluorides and HFPO were obtained in good yield except for the cases of 1f, 1g and 1h.The difference in the reactivity of two isomers (1e and 1f) is discussed in terms of the nucleophilicity of the alkoxide formed from them on the basis of the molecular orbital calculations.
