1. A process for the preparation of a perfluorinated vinyl ether of the formula CF2═
- CF—
O—
Rf wherein Rf is a linear, branched or cyclic perfluorinated aliphatic group that contains at least one oxygen atom, the process comprising the steps ofa) providing a hydrocarbon precursor comprising at least one 2-alkoxy propionate moiety, derivative or equivalent that may be partially halogenated;
b) fluorinating the hydrocarbon precursor to provide a perfluorinated intermediate; and
c) converting the perfluorinated intermediate to its corresponding perfluorinated acid metal salt, and d) converting the perfluorinated acid metal salt to its corresponding perfluorovinyl ether.

Abstract
The present invention describes a novel process for the preparation of perfluorovinyl ethers. The process involves providing a hydrocarbon precursor that may be partially halogenated, fluorinating the precursor to provide a perfluorinated intermediate, and converting the perfluorinated intermediate to the desired perfluorinated ether. Novel perfluorovinyl ethers are also provided.
