Preparation process of perfluoroalkyl compound with monohydroperfluoroalkane as starting material

A production process of alcohol having a perfluoroalkyl group represented by General Formula [4]:

• wherein, RF is a perfluoroalkyl group which is an alkyl group that may have a straight chain of 1 to 2 carbons, or a straight chain, branched chain or ring structure of 3 to 10 carbons, and which has all hydrogens on carbon substituted with fluorine;
• and
• R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, aryl group, heteroaryl group, aralkyl group, alkenyl group, or alkynyl group that may have a straight chain of 1 to 2 carbons, or a straight chain, branched chain or ring structure of 3 to 10 carbons, and that may have a substituent;
• and R1 and R2 may be merged to form a ring;
• the production process comprising:
• reacting in an organic solvent a carbonyl compound represented by General Formula [1]:
• wherein, R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, aryl group, heteroaryl group, aralkyl group, alkenyl group, or alkynyl group that may have a straight chain of 1 to 2 carbons, or a straight chain, branched chain or ring structure of 3 to 10 carbons, and that may have a substituent;
• and R1 and R2 may be merged to form a ring;
• a hydroxide represented by General Formula [2]:
• M(OH)x [2]
• wherein, M is a metal belonging to Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV, Group V, Group VI, Group VII, Group VIII, Group IX, Group X, Group XI, Group XII, and Group XIII in a periodic table of elements or ammonium that may be unsubstituted or that may have an alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbons as a substituent, which may be used alone or in a mixture of multiple substances, and x is equal to an oxidation number of a substance represented by M;
• and
• monohydroperfluoroalkane represented by General Formula [3]:
• RFH [3]
• wherein, RF is a perfluoroalkyl group which is an alkyl group that may have a straight chain of 1 to 2 carbons, or a straight chain, branched chain or ring structure of 3 to 10 carbons, and which has all hydrogens on carbon substituted with fluorine.
