Stimulation on the addition reactivity of fluorinated vinyl monomers—Facile carbon–carbon bond formation by the aid of fluorine substituents

The high addition reactivity of fluorinated vinyl compounds toward radical and anionic species was demonstrated to afford facile methods for the carbon–carbon bond formation by the aid of fluorinated substituents of vinyl groups. Some of the reactions are proved to be applicable to the preparation of polymers by radical or anionic polyaddition reaction mechanism. The investigation on the anionic reactivity order of fluorinated acrylates and methacrylates may contribute to the development in the field of the estimation by the computer chemistry to determine which effect of the fluorine-substitution would control the reactions.
