Synthesis of polyfluorinated aromatic polyesters

Perfluoroalkylation of phenolic compounds by RFI/Na2S2O4 reagent system was used to synthesize fluorinated monomers useful in polycondensation reactions. A series of fluorinated aromatic polyesters was prepared from polyfluoroalkylated hydroquinone and terephthalic acid derivatives and some properties of these polymers were discussed.
