Tnfluoroacetate esters

Catalytic hydrogenation of tnfluoroacetic acid gives tnfluoroethanol in high yield [73], but higherperfluorocarboxybc acids and their anhydndes are reduced much more slowly over rhodium, iridium, platinum, or ruthenium catalysts [7J 74] (equation 61) Homogeneous catalysis efficiently produces tnfluoroethanol from tnfluoroacetate esters [75] (equation 61)... 

Aliphatic Ct, (A-dietus, activated with ester groups at both terminal positions, undergo tnfluoromethylation with cyclization durmg electrochemical oxidation with sodium tnfluoroacetate [79] (equation 70).
