4,5,5,5-tetrafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pentan-1-ol

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: In accordance with scheme (9) above, a 500 mL two neck round bottom flask can be equipped with a thermocouple, agitator, and heating mantle. About 212.1 g (0.599 mole) 4,5,5,5-tetrafluoro-4(trifluoromethyl)-2-iodopentan-1-ol (212.1 g, 0.599 mole) can be added to the flask and heated to about 60° C. to 70° C. From a 100 mL pressure equalized addition funnel, about 196.4 g (0.675 mole) tributyltin hydride can be added drop-wise over a 4 hour period followed by 2 hours of continued heating and stirring. The RF-intermediate 4,5,5,5-tetrafluoro-4(trifluoromethyl)pentan-1-ol, can be obtained through vacuum distillation and verified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (m/z 228 (M+), 211 (M+-OH), 159 (M+-CF3)). heating mantle heated to about 60° C. to 70° C addition funnel of continued heating

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.
