Reaction Steps

C3F7OCFHCF2CH2OH was prepared by the reaction of C3F7OCF═CF2 (53 g, 0.2 mol) with methanol (63.7 g, 2.0 mol) using t-amylperoxybenzoate (1.0 g) as free radical initiator at 106° C. The product reaction mixture was washed with water and distilled and the distillation fraction of b.r.=115-117° C. used in the next step.
