Synthesis and polymerization of novel fluoroalkyl 2‐trifluoromethylacrylate possessing tetrahydrofuran moiety

“…1 The fluoroalkyl moiety in ester group was synthesized by the hydrolysis of the compound from the radical addition of 2-benzoxypentafluoropropene [CF 2 ¼C(CF 3 )OCOC 6 H 5 ] with tetrahydrofuran (THF). Radical and anionic polymerization of the monomer were examined to afford a polymer of 1.1 Â 10 4 as the highest molecular weight initiated by benzoyl peroxide (BPO) at 60 C in spite of low yield of the polymer.…”
