New Reagents for the Synthesis of Organic/luoroalkyl Copolymers DAVID A. VICIC
Outline 1. Design approach for the preparation of co polymers consisting of a fluoroalkyl component and a nonfluorinated organic component. 2. History of α,ω perfluoroalkyl dinucleophiles. 3. Preparation of stable yet reactive perfluoroalkyl dizinc reagents. 4. Use of the reagents for (C 2 ) n transfer and the construction of fluoroalkyl containing rings.
Design of luoroalkyl Containing Co Polymers n perfluoroalkyl polymer 2 n 2 n m fluoroalkyl-containing co-polymer Cross coupling routes to fluoroalkylated co polymers are less developed.
Motivations for Cross Coupling Methodologies 1) A direct way to prepare non accumulating and more degradeable fluorochemicals and materials containing ~7 or less consecutive C 2 groups (seminal work by Maybury). 2) luoroalkyl chains can be directly attached to aryl groups. 3) Much progress in methodology in the past 5 years. u et al., JACS 2015, 137, 9523.

Conclusions Diethyl zinc reacts with α, ω diiodoperfluoroalkanes to afford new stable yet reactive perfluoroalkyl dizinc reagents. The dizinc reagents can be used as (C 2 ) n transfer agents and the construction of fluoroalkyl containing rings. The dizinc reagents exhibit reactivity that is promising for the preparation of fluoroalkyl co polymers by cross coupling protocols.
