Abstract

The reactions of 2,3-epoxyperfluoro- and 2,3-epoxy-ω-hydropolyfluoroalkanes with excess triethylamine at elevated temperatures yield secondary alcohols, which are the reduction products of intermediate isomeric ketones. Ring-opening occurs preferentially from the side of the less bulky trifluoromethyl group in all compounds except 2,3-epoxy-6-hydroundecafluorohexane.
