Conclusions

Derivatives of perfluoromethacrylic and perfluoroisopropenylphosphonic acids, together with perfluoroisobutylene, are readily peroxidized by aromatic peracids in ether solvents. The order of the changes in the reactivity of olefins indicates a reversal of the mechanism of the Prilezhaev reaction, peracids functioning as nucleophiles in their reactions with highly electrophilic unsaturated compounds.
