Abstract
The literature information that the reduction of pentafluorobenzoic acid on metals with a high hydrogen-evolution overvoltage occurs via two parallel reactions, which yield penta- and tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol, is confirmed. In optimum conditions, the process selectivity by pentafluorobenzyl alcohol is 82-85%.
