Reaction Steps

As another example, 2-difluoromethyl-1,1,1,3,3,4,4-heptafluoro-2-hexanol may be prepared by fluorinating commercially available 3,4-hexanedione to form 3,3,4,4-tetrafluorohexane which may then be dehydrogenated to form 3,3,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-hexene. CF3 may then be added to the 3,3,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-hexene to form 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3,3,4,4-pentafluorohexane which may then be dehydrogenated to form 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3,3,4,4-pentafluoro-1-hexene. The 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3,3,4,4-pentafluoro-1-hexene may then be reacted with hydrogen fluoride to form 2-trifluoromethyl-1,1,3,3,4,4-hexafluorohexane which may then be dehydrogenated to form 2-trifluoromethyl-1,1,3,3,4,4-hexafluoro-1-hexene which may then be reacted with sulfuric acid and then water to form 2-difluoromethyl-1,1,1,3,3,4,4-heptafluoro-2-hexanol.
