Abstract
Abstract Pyrolysis of perfluoroalkanesulfonate salts of yttrium, scandium and rare earth metals in an inert atmosphere provides acyl fluorides when anhydrous salts are employed and carboxylic acids when the hydrated salts are employed. The acyl fluorides and carboxylic acids are useful intermediates known and used in the art.
