A process for the preparation of perfluoroalkylated ketones and/or perfluoroalkylated alcohols, comprising the step of contacting a perfluoroalkyl iodide or perfluoroalkyl bromide with an acid anhydride, in the presence of a metal chosen from zinc and cadmium.

Process for perfluoroalkylation of acid anhydrides

A process for the preparation of a perfluoroalkyl ketone. A perfluoroalkyl halide, zinc and an ester are brought into contact with one another. Preferably a polar aprotic solvent and/or a pyridine is also present.

Process for the preparation of perfluoroalkyl ketones

A process for the preparation of a benzyl trifluoromethyl sulfide by bringing a benzyl thiocyanate and trifluoromethyl bromide into contact with zinc in a polar aprotic solvent or a pyridine. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of trifluoromethane sulfonyl chloride by bringing a benzyl trifluoromethyl sulfide into contact with chlorine and water.

Process for the preparation of benzyl trifluoromethyl sulfide

A process for the preparation of perfluoroalkylated alcohols and esters by bringing a carbonyl-containing derivative and a perfluoroalkyl iodide or bromide into contact with zinc, preferably in the presence of a polar aprotic solvent and/or a pyridine.
