Abstract

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