Abstract

Perfluoroalkyl iodides were added in very good yields to 1,2‐dialkyl substituted double bonds of e.g. petroselinic acid initiated by lead/copper(II) acetate in methanol and by copper without solvent, respectively. Using the new initiator system lead/copper(II) acetate, we also obtained good yields in the additions of perfluoroalkyl iodides to allyl alcohol and ω‐unsaturated alcohols and of perfluoroalkyl 1,ω‐diiodides to methyl 10‐undecenoate.
