Abstract: Resorcinol–formaldehyde aerogels obtained in methyl trifluoropyruvate (MTFP) possess a fluorinated matrix due to the mechanism of electrophilic substitution in the resorcinol moiety with the formation of C–C bond. The use of MTFP as a solvent also substantially accelerates the formaldehyde– resorcinol interaction.
