“…Fluorophosphonic CTFE telomers were also synthesized (Scheme ) using either the Kinnear–Perren or Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction to modify Cl–(CTFE) n –CCl 3 into Cl–(CTFE) n –CCl 2 –CH 2 –CHCl–PO(OEt) 2 and Cl–(CTFE) n –CCl 2 –CH 2 –CHCl–CH 2 –PO(OEt) 2 , (Scheme ). Fluorophosphonic CTFE telomers have also been successfully synthesized directly by telomerization of CTFE in the presence of CCl 3 POCl 2 , CHCl 2 POCl 2 , or HPO(OR) 2 where R is an alkyl group. ,,, The best results were obtained with the last mentioned CTA in the presence of benzoyl peroxide leading to H–(CTFE) n –PO(OR) 2 . These phosphonates can be hydrolyzed to yield acids and salts as surfactants or for protective coatings via phosphonic acid adhesion groups.…”
