Abstract

Abstract A process is described for preparing fluoroalkyl-substituted iodoalkanes by reacting a fluorinated alkyl iodide with a substituted or unsubstituted alkene under heat in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is at least one metal which, in the periodic table of the elements, has one of the atomic numbers 24 to 30, 42 to 48 or 74 to 79 and is in finely divided form. The products of the process according to the invention are addition compounds of the fluorinated alkyl iodide with the substituted or unsubstituted alkene and, in known processes, can be used as useful intermediates for preparing fluorine-containing polymers, textile finishes, fire-extinguishing agents or surfactants.
