Abstract: Fluoroalkyl organosilicon compounds are prepared by reacting fluoroolefins with organosilicon compounds that contain at least one H--Si group, in the presence of a Pt(0) complex catalyst. Further, fluoroalkylalkoxy organosilicon compounds are prepared by esterifying fluoroalkyl organosilicon compounds. The process proceeds uniformly under mild conditions with high yields and selectivities.
