The scope of a number of base-catalyzed additions to fluoroolefins has been greatly extended. Thus, a wide variety of polyhydric alcohols and phenols, oximes, amines and amides have been added under moderate conditions of temperature and pressure. Certain of these reactions have been greatly facilitated by use of such solvents as dimethylformamide and dioxane. a, a-Difluoroamines, obtained by addition of strongly ...
