The free radical addition of TFE and HFP to hydroxyl ended p-THF and p-ethyleneglycol (PEG) will be described. Under the reaction conditions the fluoro-olefins react with the hydroxyl groups of PEG but not with those of p-THF. The reason for this interesting difference and the products resulting from the PEG reaction will be discussed.

Cycloaddition reactions between an allene and a ketone or unsymmetrically substituted olefin CH2:CHX (where X = CN, C02H, C02CH3, CHO, etc.) have hitherto been reported to give only one of the two possible 1:l adducts, the structures of which were shown to be, respectively, 24lkylideneoxetans (1) an
## Abstract The addition of methoxy radicals to several olefins has been studied by a competitive method at 127ยฐC in gas phase. The thermal decomposition of dimethyl peroxide was used as methoxy radical source. The rate of addition to the double bond was measured relative to the oxidation of carbon
