Abstract

No vinyl ether by-products are formed in the palladium(0)-complex catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of hexafluoropropene (see scheme). Saturated hydrofluoroethers are selectively synthesized with alcohols or phenols under neutral conditions in the presence of [Pd(PPh3)4]/dppb. dppb=1,4-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)butane.
