A method is provided for preparation of chlorofluoroethers ClCF CFClOR and Cl CFCFClOR by direct fluorination of Cl CHCH OR and Cl CCH OR , respectively, wherein R is a C -C alkyl-or acyl-containing group optionally up to 5 ether oxygen atoms and optionally substituted by functional groups and R , is the corresponding perfluoroalkyl or perfluoracyl-containing group.

Method of making chlorofluoroethers

Acrylates having a high degree of halogenation, as well as polymers that include one or more mer units derived from such acrylates provide materials having tailorable optical and physical properties. The polymers find utility particularly in optical devices including optical waveguides and interconnecting devices.
