The base-catalyzed addition of polyfluoroalkanols to perhalo-alicydic olefins yields stable polyfluoroalicydic ethers. Two series of diand triethers are obtained, depending on the identity of the vinylic halogens in the four-, five-, and six-membered ring alicydic olefins. Evidence is cited for the presence of double bond isomers only in the fiveand six-membered ring diethers. All of the diethers (but not the triethers) readily undergo chlorine addition to yield stable a-chloroethers. The fluid characteristics of these two types of ethers are compared, including the effects of ring size.IN UCLEOPHILIC displacement of halogens in alicydic perhalo-olefins by alkoxide ions yields two types of ethers, depending upon the nature of the vinylic halogen in the olefin. Most of the reported work (6,7,8,10,11,12,14,15) relates to the reactions of the perhalocyclobutene
