We developed an addition reaction of fluorous solvents to olefins using salen-cobalt (Co) complex, N-fluoro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate, and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane. This reaction condition was found to activate olefins, which enabled them to be attacked by 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), both of which are electronically weak nucleophiles.
