1-Fluorododecane → 1-Dodecanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

93 mg (0.5 mmol) of dodecanol purified by distillation, 0.39 g (0.6 mmol, 1.2 equivalents) of N,N-diethyl-α,α-difluoro-[4-(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl)benzyl]amine (compound c) produced in Example 1, and 0.5 ml of heptane were put into a container formed of PFA (tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer), and reacted in a nitrogen atmosphere at 100° C. for 3 hours. After the reaction, an aqueous saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added thereto for neutralization, and then the product was extracted out with dichloromethane. The solvent was evaporated away, followed by purification through silica gel column chromatography (solvent: dichloromethane/diethyl ether mixed solvent) to give a product. The main product was 1-fluorododecane, and its yield was 86%.
