17. 1,2-Fluorine shift has been observed in the condensed phase for tertiary fluorine adjacent to a tertiary perfluorocarbanion by NMR spectroscopy (Farnham WB. Chem. Rev. 1996; 96: 1633).
18. Such fragmentation is the reverse of the well-known addition of perfluoroalkyl carbanionic species to perfluoroolefins in the condensed phase although it was suggested that assistance by the counter cation is involved (see eg., Kirsch P. Modern Fluoroorganic Chemistry. Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, 2004; 103-104).
