Fluoro-alkene forming eliminations using antimony pentafluoride

End-functionalization of a vinylidene fluoride oligomer in coordination nanochannels

“…6 Fluorinated chain molecules are functionalized with terminal alkene groups from a base-induced elimination of a hydrogen halide. However, this elimination reaction is often accompanied by the generation of undesirable by-products, 7,8 and, so, the development of a new efficient method is desirable.…”
