Where R = N(CH3)2- and NH2- the acetylenic alcohol was not obtained; these were synthesized by the reaction of dimethylamine and ammonia with 3-(pentafluorophenyl)prop2-ynol itself. The acetylenic alcohols were converted to the corresponding polyfluorophenyl acetylenes by nickel peroxide in dioxan/aqueous NaOH. With benzene at 60° as solvent 3-(pent
