Reaction of perfluoropropylene (2a) with cyanomethylene- triphenylarsorane (1b) gave cyano-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropionylmethylene-triphenylarsorane (4b), and with benzoylmethylene-(1c) and acetylmethylene-triphenylarsorane (1d) gave benzoyl-(3c) and acetyl-(trans-perfluoropropen-1-yl)- methylene-triphenylarsorane (3d), respectively 3c and 3d could be converted to benzoyl-(4c) and acetyl-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropionyl -methylene triphenylarsorane (4d), respectively by refluxing with moist benzene. Reaction of carbomethoxymethylene- triphenylphosphorane (1e) with perfluoropropylene was similar to that of arsorane. However, benzoylmethylene-and acetylmethylene- triphenylphosphorane were unreactive towards perfluoropropylene. Reaction of carbomethoxymethylene-triphenylarsoraen (1a) with trifluorochloroethylene gave carbomethoxyfluoroacetylmenthylene- triphenylarsorane (4f) in low yield. when the residue was treated with methanol, difluorotriphenylarsorano and methyl- fluorochloroacetate (8) were obatined. The structures of the aforementioned products are ascertained by elemental analyses, IR, ^1H NMR, ^1^9F NMR and mass spectra.
