Ozonolysis of perfluoroalkenes and perfluorocycloalkenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02496231

Ozonolysis of 1-methoxyperfluorocyclobutene in Freon-113 followed by hydrogenation of the reaction products gave methyl hydrogen perfluorosuccinate. Under similar conditions, perfluorooct-1- and -2-enes and 4-trifluoromethyl-1,1,1,2,3,4,5,5,5-nonafluoropent-2-ene were converted into perfluorinated heptanoic, hexanoic, and isobutyric acids, respectively.
