Preparation of 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl methyl ether, a prospective alternative to CFC-11, has been studied under basic conditions. Strong basic catalyts are more favorable to the etherification of hexafluoropropylene with CH₃OH than weak basic catalyts. The reaction temperature should be kept below 30℃ in order to produce a high yield and a high selectivity of the ether product.
