Polyether phosphates, synthesis

Alkylation of heterofunctionalities. Etherification of alcohols can be conducted in the absence of solvent using a polyether." The O-alkylation of 1-perfluoro-alkyl-2-fluoroethanols is accompanied by dehydrofluorination thus the products are enol ethers. Selective (9-alkylation of o-aminophenols is observed, and an efficient method for the synthesis of triaryl phosphates from sodium phenolates and... 

Per- and poly-fluorinated ether surfactants are the newest commercially available substances in this rapidly expanding group of fluorinated surfactants [33-35]. For example, the phosphate shown in Fig. 4 is used as a grease repellent for food contact paper [36]. Per- and poly-fluorinated polyether carboxylates [37-41] are also used as processing aids in the synthesis of fluoropolymers. Per- and poly-fluorinated polyether silanes are used as surface treatments [42-45].
