The electrochemical fluorination of cycloalkyl-substituted acetic and propionic acids were conducted to obtain several kinds of perfluorobicyclic ethers [reaction conditions: Anodic current density: 3.5 A/dm2, Volt: 5--8V, Temp: 5-6 "Cl. For example, from cyclopentyl-substituted acetic acids, perfluoro(4-alkyl-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.O]octane)s (I) were formed as the cyclization products in yields of 10 -19% toqether with the corresponding perfluoroalkanoyl fluorides (II) (Y=3-13%).

While, perfluorospiro-ethers were obtained from the fluorination of 3-cycloalkyl-substituted propionic acids. The characterization of these perfluorobicyclic ethers which consists of the reaction with anhydrous aluminum chloride will be reported also.
