A three-component reaction with lithiated alkoxyallenes, nitriles, and perfluorinated carboxylic acids as precursors led to a series of perfluoroalkyl- or perfluoroaryl-substituted 4-hydroxypyridine derivatives. These compounds were converted into 4-pyridyl nonaflates which can be employed as versatile building blocks for the
