| Abstract: | Unsaturated perfluoroalkyl esters derived from undecylenic acid: CH2?CH? (CH2)8? COO? CH2? CH2? RF (with RF?C6F13, 2a and RF?C8F17, 2b ) and C8F17? (CH2)10? COO? CH2? CH?CH2, 2c were prepared with excellent yields. Their hydrosilylation by methylhydrodimethylsiloxane copolymers of various Si? H contents gives new fluorinated polysiloxanes which were examined by 1H- and 13C-NMR, GPC, differential scanning calorimetry, and optical polarizing microscopy. Polymers derived from compounds 2a and 2b exhibit mesomorphic structures. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. |
