Thermal and photochemical interconversions among the three valence isomers perfluoro-1,5-hexadiene (1), perfluorobicyclo[2.2.0]hexane(2), and perfluorobicyclo[2.1.1]hexane (3) have been explored. At 250-degrees-C 1 and 2 exist in equilibrium with K1-->2 = 1.1, but at higher temperatures irreversible isomerization to 3 becomes rapid. This chemistry contrasts sharply with the behavior of the corresponding hydrocarbons, where the diene is lowest in free energy. Mercury-sensitized photolysis of diene 1 yields 3 and 2 in ratios of 3-4:1. The cleanness of both the thermal and the photochemistry, together with thermodynamics favorable to cyclization, bode well for synthesizing new bicyclic and polycyclic fluorocarbons from other unsaturated precursors.

The present invention provides a method of preparing an isolated oligosaccharide or glycolipid by preparing the oligosaccharide or glycolipid having a hydrophobic group, such as a perfluorinated alkyl or a fatty acid, and separating the oligosaccharide or glycolipid using a solid-phase extraction cartridge.
