ABSTRACT:
Perfluoroisobutene-MeOH adduct (2H-octafluororisobutyl methyl ether) is converted to hexafluoropropane by reaction with trialkyl amine (eg. triethyl amine) and H.sub.2 O. 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropene is also produced in lesser amounts. The electrolysis of the reaction product in anhydrous HF (at 10.degree.-50.degree. C., 0-140 kPa, and 50-300 amps/m.sup.2 anode area) yields C.sub.3 F.sub.8 and some CF.sub.3 CFHCF.sub.3 which is condensed out of a gas stream from the electrolysis cell.
