Abstract
A set of problems and directions of the accelerated development of methods to synthesize perfluoroalkane-2,3-epoxides by means of the oxidation of fluorine-containing olefins is considered. Attention to perfluoroalkane-2,3-epoxides is due to their promising use in obtaining fluorinated materials for a wide range of practical applications: for example, as monomers for obtaining polyfluorinated polyethers, for manufacturing fluorinated membranes for electrochemical processes. The effect of the nature of oxidizing agent, radical initiators and the structure of a perfluoroolefin on the yield of the target product and on the formation of polymerization products is investigated. The application areas are proposed.
