ABSTRACT:
Alkyl fluoroformates RHOC(O)F are a new family of excellent alkylating agents. Perfluoroacyl fluorides, selected perfluoroketones and fluoroolefins can be alkylated to hydrofluoroethers R-F-O-R-H and hydrofluoroalkanes R-F-R-H, respectively. Potassium fluoride and cesium fluorides catalysts in glymes at 50-100 degrees C are the preferred experimental conditions.
