Abstract
The opening of Ã-dicyanoepoxides by pyridine polyhdrofluoride yields polymerisable 2-fluorocyanoformyls which may be kept intact when diluated in dichloromethane or ether. These intermediates react with nuclecophiles such as water, methanol or amines to give respectivly 2-fluoroacids, esters or amides.
