Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-1139(00)85030-7

The new fluorinated β-sultone, (I) has been prepared from F-butyl F-vinyl ether and sulfur trioxide.It isomerizes to CF3(CF2)3OC(O)Cf2SO2F (II) when heated with sodium fluoride.Two known fluorinated esters, FSO2CF2C(O)OCH3 (III) and CF3(CF2)2C(O)CH3 (IV), have also been synthesized from the reaction of methanol with the β-sultone (I).
