Popis: Perfluoro oxymethylene vinyl ethers have been formed by a multi-step synthesis. The key intermediates are low molecular weight perfluoropolyether (PFPE) fluoroformates CF 3 O(CF 2 O) n COF ( I ) n =1–6 obtained from the photo-oxidation of perfluoro propene (HFP) in perfluorohexane. Under certain conditions the light-mediated fluorination of PFPE fluoroformates ( I ) gives PFPE hypofluorites CF 3 O(CF 2 O) n CF 2 OF ( II ), which can be added to sym dichlorodifluoroethene to form the dichloro adduct CF 3 O(CF 2 O) n CF 2 OCFClCF 2 Cl ( III ) which, after dechlorination, gives the desired vinyl ethers CF 3 O(CF 2 O) n CF 2 OCFCF 2 ( IV ). Every reaction step has to be properly controlled as far as the reaction variables are concerned. A mechanistic scheme is presented that is consistent with the observed experimental data.
