Perfluoroalkylethyl alcohol

The perfluoroalkylethyl alcohol (Zonyl Ba ) has proven to be a very versatile synthetic intermediate. The ethyl group spacer in the alcohol separates the electronegative perfluoroalkyl group from the alcohol moiety, which leads to... [Pg.49]

One new method for converting 2-perfluoroalkylethyl iodides to the alcohols involves treatmentwith amides that nun irmzedehydroiodination. Wet dimethyltormamide with a water content of 1 2% favors formation of the alcohol [5(7] (equation 50)... [Pg.438]

The perfluoroalkylethyl iodides can be readily converted to the corresponding alcohols, thiols, and sulfonyl chlorides used as intermediates for fluorinated surfactants (Fig. 2.6). [Pg.38]

The preparation of nonionic fluorinated surfactants from fluorinated alcohols is straightforward [218-230]. Perfluoroalkylethanol (see Section 2.3), obtained from telomer perfluoroalkylethyl iodides, is oxyethylated in the presence of a catalyst, for example, BF3 ... [Pg.64]
