All articles of this category Electronegative substituted (polyfluorinated and polynitroaliphatic), poorly nucleophilic alcohols are efficiently added to model alkenes norbornene, cyclohexene, hex-1-ene, and hex-3-ene under mild conditions by the use of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex catalyst, forming the corresponding ethers. Boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex catalyzes the addition of electronegative alcohols to "unactivated" alkenes
