What is it about?

Regioselective additions of nucleophilic radicals to perfluoroalkylethylenes (I) are achieved as described. Correlation of experimental with theoretical data, obtained by two quantum chemical methods, i.e. PM3 methods and ab initio calculations, shows that the more accurate level of ab initio calculations substantiate a greater reliability for predictions based on this method.
