Summary: | [Display omitted]
•Sulfinitodehalogenation reaction of RfI and ethyl vinyl ether gives aldehyde and hemiacetal addition products.•Catalytic hydrogenation of this mixture gives the perfluoroalkylethanol in high overall yield.•These alcohols are important intermediates in the commercial production of surfactants and polymers.
A new route to commercially important perfluoroalkyl ethyl alcohols (RfCH2CH2OH) is described. This route involves the addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides to alkyl vinyl ethers using sulfinatodehalogenation chemistry, followed by catalytic hydrogenation of the intermediate mixture of perfluoroalkylacetaldehyde and perfluoroalkylacetaldehyde hemiacetal to the desired alcohol. |
