2H-Heptafluorobut-2-ene as a synthon for hexafluorobut-2-yne

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-1139(96)03448-3

Reactions of heptafluorobut-2-ene with nucleophiles are described, in some cases giving products analogous to those previously obtained from hexafluorobut-2-yne. Depending on the conditions, hydrolysis can lead to 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutan-2-one, or 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone. Reactions with diols, bis-phenols, ammonia and amines are also described.
