Fluoride ion catalyses the oligomerisation of hexafluoropropene, and treatment of the individual dimers and trimers with fluoride ion leads to isomerisation and, in the case of one trimer, to fission of a carboncarbon bond to give a dimer and the heptafluoro-isopropyl carbanion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
