Synthesis of Perfluorocarbons (continued)
TFE can also be used as the building block of straight-chain perfluorocarbons. The most widely used method to produce perfluorocarbons is to build chains using tetrafluoroethylene in a radical process known as telomerization.
Normally, a spacer (ethylene) is added to isolate the electron withdrawing fluorocarbon groups from any other functionalities added to the molecule later:
From here, various other transformations can be done, for example:
