Perfluorinated sulphonic esters RFSO3R'F and fluorosulphates FSO3R'F, are easily obtained by anodic oxidation of iodoperfluoroalkanes R'FI in perfluoroalkene sulphonic acids RFSO3H (RF=CF3, C2F5, C4F9) and fluorosulphuric acid.With di-iodo compound I(CF2)4I, the mono and the diester can be selectively obtained.The alkaline hydrolysis of these esters produces perfluorinated carboxylic compounds.Polyfluorinated iodide R'FCH2CH2I are also oxidized in similar conditions.The mechanism of the electrolytic reaction is discussed.
