Condensation of trifluoromethanes, CF3X (X= H, Cl, Br, I), with tetrafluorethylene to form the corresponding Fn-propyl adducts have been carried out with aluminum chlorofluoride as catalyst. Yields of C3F7I and C3F7Br are especially good, making these useful perfluoropropyl intermediates readily available. Details of the reactions, especially the presence of low percentages of perfluoroisopropyl iodide and bromide in the products, are ...
