A new fluorinated anionic surfactant Cl(CF 2 ) 6 O(CF 2 ) 2 SO 3 N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 was prepared and characterized. The application of the fluorosurfactant allowed the fluoroalkylation to occur in the water without adding organic solvent. The addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides with olefins and alkynes under the initiation of Na 2 S 2 O 4 in water in the presence of the fluorosurfactant gave the corresponding adducts in good to excellent yields. The fluorosurfactant was suitable for a radical addition process.
