The order of reactivity of perfluorinated dienes towards methanol is 3
> 2 much greater than 1 and the process is activated by release of an
gle strain. The diene 1 is hydrolysed to give perfluorotetramethyl-fur
an and the corresponding thiophene, is obtained by an analogous proces
s using K2S. Hydrolysis of compounds 2 and 3 yields diketones that are
strong acids. Reactions of phenols and thiophenols with 1 give aryl e
thers and sulfides and difunctional nucleophiles react with 1 to give
potential polymer precursors.
