METHOD FOR PRODUCING PERFLUOROALCOHOL AND DEUTERATED PERFLUOROALCOHOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently synthesizing a perfluoroalcohol at a low coat.;SOLUTION: This method for producing the perfluoroalcohol expressed by general formula (I) (R^f is a perfluoroalkyl; and Y^A and Y^B are each independently hydrogen or deuterium) comprises reducing a perfluorocarboxylic acid expressed by general formula (II) in water and/or heavy water in the presence of a transition metal catalyst by using a hydrogen donor.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
