Fluoronitro alcohols

Polyfunctional fluoronitro alcohols are provided by die SRN1 reaction of a perfluoroalkyl iodide or alkylene duodides with the anhydrous lithium salt of 2-nitropropane-l,3-diol acetonide. Hydrolysis of the resulting perfluoroalkyl-... 

Oxygen.—Alcohols, Alkoxides, Esters, and Ethers. Information culled from the patent literature is presented at the end of this chapter (p. 303). The ether chemistry associated with perfluoro-olefins, etc., is noted in Chapter 2 except that which is connected with polymers derived from vinyl ethers (see p. 280). Fluoronitro-alcohols, -esters, and -ethers are dealt with in the nitrogen section of this Chapter (p. 246). 

Alkylations and other reactions using polynitroaliphatic alcohols as nucleophiles usually require Lewis acid catalysts. A comprehensive review of the chemistry of fluoronitro compounds.
