A novel and simple synthetic route to perfluoroalkylacetaldehydes using commercially available alkali halides and metal oxides

“…It is the use of halophile bacterias in marine brine for the hydrolysis of the C-I bond in 1-acetoxy-1-iodo-2-perfluoroalkylethanes that led us to evidence the unexpected but critical role of NaCl in their conversion into perfluoroalkylethanals, aside from the activity of the bacterias themselves (or related bacterial enzymes) [25].…”
