Reactions involving fluoride ion. Part 30. Preparation and reactions of epoxides derived from perfluoroalkyl substituted alkenes
Abstract
Reactions of alkenes that are oligomers of tetrafluoroethene or hexafluorocyclobutene with sodium hypochlorite give epoxides which show remarkable overall stability. Ring-opening reactions, induced by fluoride ion, yield alkenes, ketones, and acid fluorides.
