✦ Synopsis

The direct preparation of stable perfluoroalkenyl organometallic reagents, RFCF=CFMX (M -Cd, Zn, Cu) will be described, and illustrative examples of the application of these reagents in the stereospecific synthesis of polyfunctionalized organofluorine compounds will be presented.

In addition, a new and novel approach for the direct conversion of dihalodifluoromethanes to stable trifluoromethyl organometallics will be described and the mechanistic details of this unusual conversion discussed.
