Abstract

Heptafluoropropyl radicals, generated by the electrolysis of heptafluorobutyric acid, reacted with methyl methacrylate to give a mixture of products of the type RFCH2CH(Me)X, RFCH2C(Me)(RF)X, [RFCH2C(Me)X]2 and RFCHC(Me)X, where RF= C3F7 and X = CO2Me. Also formed by electrochemical oxidation of the product of the intial radical addition reaction were CH2C(CH2RF)X, (RFCH2)2CHX, and (RFCH2)2C(RF)X, this being the preferred process. A trimeric and second dimeric product were also formed.
