Abstract
Abstract 2-(perfluoroalkyl)-ethanols of the formula RfCH2CH2OH in which Rf is a perfluoroalkyl radical having from 1 to 21 carbon atoms, are prepared in an advantageous manner from the corresponding 2-(perfluoroalkyl)-ethyl iodides by reaction with water and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, thus reducing formation of by-products.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
A process for the manufacture of 2-(perfluoroalkyl)ethanols of the formula R.sub.f CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH wherein R f is a linear or terminally methyl-branched perfluoroalkyl having from 1 to 21 carbon atoms from the corresponding 2-(perfluoroalkyl)-ethyl iodides, which comprises reacting these iodides with water and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at a temperature in the range of from 100° to 200° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process for the manufacture of 2-(perfluoroalkyl)ethanols of the formula R.sub.f CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH wherein R f is a linear or terminally methyl-branched perfluoroalkyl having from 1 to 21 carbon atoms from the corresponding 2-(perfluoroalkyl)-ethyl iodides, which comprises reacting these iodides with water and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone at a temperature in the range of from 100° to 200° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
