Fluoroalkylations arc undesirable side-reactions of hydrogen fluoride catalyzed alkylations of alkenes.208 However, selective chain elongation can be achieved in moderate yields with ethene and its halogen derivatives. Thus, various alcohols (terl-butyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl. benzyl) and alkenes, such as cyclohexene, have been used in fluoroalkylations with ethene derivatives in the presence of hydrogen fluoride (e.g., generation of 1 and 2, respectively).205,400...
