Abstract: A process for the preparation of an allyloxytrifluoropropene derivative of the formula CF3CH?CR1(OCH2CR?CH2) wherein R1 is hydrogen, fluoro, or an allyloxy group represented by the formula —OCH2CR?CH2 wherein R is hydrogen or methyl including contacting (I) a compound represented by the formula CF3CH?CR2R3 wherein R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chloro, and fluoro and wherein R3 is chloro or fluoro; and (ii) an allyl alcohol derivative of the formula HOCH2CR?CH2 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of: hydrogen and methyl; wherein the contacting is carried out in the presence of a base and optionally a solvent at a temperature and length of time sufficient to produce the allyloxytrifluoropropene derivative. A process for the preparation of polymers of the allyloxytrifluoropropene derivatives is also provided.
