TOXIC FLUORINE COMPOUNDS: XIII. ω-FLUOROALKYL ETHERS

Abstract

Representative ω-fluoroalkyl ethers have been synthesized. Their toxicological properties provide evidence for the rupture invivo of the ether link. The compound 2-fluoro-1′,2′,2′,2′-tetrachlorodiethyl ether (XIII) shows outstanding activity as a systemic insecticide
