What is it about?

The two-step synthesis of title compounds (IV) is based on the radical addition of dioxolane (II) to perfluoroalk-1-enes (I) with high yields for each step. The additions are completely chemoselective and almost completely regioselective. The factors influencing fluoroolefin and dioxolane regioselectivity are discussed.
