Conclusions
-
1.
The cleavage of perfluoroisobutylene oxide by the anions that are generated from perfluorocarbonyl compounds and alkali metal fluorides gave the acid fluorides ofα-perfluoroalkoxyperfluoroisobutyric acids.
-
2.
Perfluoroisobutylene oxide in diglyme, in the presence of cesium fluoride, is dimerized to the acid fluoride ofα-perfluoroisobutoxyperfluoroisobutyric acid.
-
3.
Decarboxylation, with the formation of 2-hydro-2-perfluoroalkoxyperfluoropropanes, occurs when the acid fluorides ofα-perfluoroalkoxyperfluoroisobutyric acids are saponified.
-
4.
Difluorephosgene is cleaved, with the formation of 2-perfluoroalkoxyperfluoropropylenes, when the acid fluorides ofα-perfluoroalkoxyperfluoroisobutyric acids are heated over Na2CO3.
