| Abstract: | A convenient and simple three‐step pathway to the new family of CF2CF2S‐bridged alkanes and CF2S‐, CF2O‐bridged alkenes and alkynes was elaborated by using catalytic olefination reaction as a key step of the synthetic sequence. The obtained compounds revealed attractive liquid crystalline characteristics. |
