Ozonolysis of alkenes and studies of reactions of polyfunctional compounds: LXV. Ozonolysis of perfluoro-1-octene in Freon-113

Ozonization of perfluoro-1-octene in Freon-113 yields the corresponding ozo nide whose catalytic hydrogenation over Pd/C or hydride reduction leads to formation of perfluoroheptanoic acid; the reduction with lithium aluminum h ydride gives 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-tridecafluoro-1-heptanol. Ozonizatio n of perfluoro-1-octene in Freon-113 containing excess (greater than or equ al to3 equiv) alcohol affords the corresponding perfluoroheptanoic acid est er.
