Sodium perfluoroalkanesulfinates [Cl(CF_2)n SO_2 Na (1), a, n=4; b, n=6; c, n=8] with the reduction potentials about 0.95-1.00V could be oxidized readily with various oxidizing agents such as Mn (OAc)_3·2H_2O, Ce(SO_4)_2, HgSO_4 and Co_2O_3 to generate perfluoroalkyl radicals which added to the olefins RCH=CHR′to give two kinds of adducts, namely RCH (R_f) CHXR′(3, X=H; 4, X=OAc), with good yields depending upon the solvent system used. Different oxidizing agents showed slight variation on the yields of the adducts. The reaction time could be greatly shortened at higher temperature. Thus, this reaction provides a new way for introducing a perfluoroalkyl group into olefinic compounds.
