Reaction Steps

1-Methanesulfonyloxy-4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoro-heptane (6.7 g, 18.8 mmol) and sodium iodide (8.5 g, 56.4 mmol) were stirred in acetone (400 ml) for 12 hours under heating. After the reaction was completed, water was added to the reaction mixture, which was then extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off to give 1-iodo-4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoroheptane (6.33 g, Yield 87%) as a colorless oil.
