Systematic studies on free-radical addition of acyclic ethers to hexafluoropropene reveal the influence of steric effects on the competitive formation of mono-, di-, and tri-adducts.It is concluded that 'captodative' effects are not dominant in systems containing polyfluoroalkyl groups.Remarkably efficient free-radical additions of trialkyl borates, to fluorinated alkenes occur, but in a series X-OMe (X=MeCO, HCO, MeOCO etc.) reactivity is reduced by electron withdrawal.
