•We have prepared new perfluoroalkyl allyl ethers with a solvent-free protocol.•We have prepared new unsymmetrical semifluorinated unbranched multiblock ethers.•All the prepared materials are environmentally safer and can find application in several technological fields.
Novel tri- and pentablock unsymmetrical semifluorinated unbranched ethers of general formula RfCH2O(CH2)3R′f, containing perfluorinated chains with C ≤ 6, have been synthesized and characterized. The synthesis was performed in two steps: perfluoroalkyl iodide addition to fluoroalkyl allyl ethers followed by reduction of the CI bond via heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation with palladium on carbon.
