| abstract |
The invention provides a process for producing a fluorine-containing compound from an inexpensive material. n Namely, Compound I such as R A CH 2 OH is reacted with Compound II such as XCOR B to form Compound III such as R A CH 2 OCOR B , followed by fluorination in a liquid phase to form Compound IV such as R AF CF 2 OCOR BF , which is converted to Compound V such as R AF COF and/or Compound VI such as R BF COF. R A is an alkyl group or the like, R B is a perhalogenoalkyl group or the like, R AF and R BF are fluorinated R A and R B , and X is halogen. |
