반응 단계

Under nitrogen, into a quartz reactor equipped with a dry-ice condenser was added anhydrous methanol (100 g, 3.10 mol) and di-tertiarybutylperoxide (3.95 g, 0.015 mol). The quartz reactor tube was placed in a Rayonet UV photochemical reactor and HFC 1225, CF3CH═CF2 (57.9 g, 0.438 mol) was added drop-wise via a dry-ice condenser (−78° C.) over a period of ˜5 hours while being irradiated at 254 nm. After complete addition, the reaction mixture was irradiated for additional hour. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue (˜65 g) was mixed well with 120 mL aq. Na2SO3 (20%), separated the lower layer, and washed with brine (40 mL). The crude product was then distilled under reduced pressure (24-28 mm Hg) to afford 55 g CF3CH2CF2CH2OH (yield 77% based on HFC 1225).
