In the first and second processes of this invention, the molar ratio to be charged among the aforementioned olefin compound, the fluoroalkanesulfonyl chloride represented by the general formula (IV), and the metal catalyst ranges preferably from 1:0.1-1:0.001-0.50, particularly preferably from 1:0.5-1:0.005-0.50. It is not preferred that the molar ratio between the fluoroalkanesulfonyl chloride and the metal catalyst be less than 0.1 and 0.001, since the yield of the produced fluoroalkyl derivative is decreased; whereas it is not preferred that the ratio exceeds 1 and 0.50, since unreacted materials are left after the completion of the reaction to make it difficult to isolate the objective product, leading to disadvantages from the industrial standpoint of view.

In the first and second processes of this invention, it is desirous that the olefin compound represented by the aforementioned general formula (III) be reacted with the fluoroalkanesulfonyl chloride represented by the general formula (IV) in the presence of the metal catalyst at a reaction temperature of from 0.degree. to 200.degree. C., particularly preferably within the range of from 20.degree. to 150.degree. C. It is not preferred that the reaction temperature be lower than 0.degree. C. since the time required for the reaction is prolonged, and in contrary, it is not preferred that the temperature be above 200.degree. C. since the pressure during the reaction step is raised to bring difficulty in reaction operation. As to the reaction time, the reaction may be completed generally over a period of from 30 minutes to 50 hours, and it is practically preferred that the conditions for the reaction be determined so that the reaction time ranges within an hour to 24 hours.

In the second process of this invention, in order to prepare the fluoroalkyl derivative represented by the aforementioned general formula (I) by the reaction carried out in the presence of the metal catalyst followed by the treatment with an alkali, the fluoroalkyl derivative represented by the aforementioned general formula (II) may be prepared through the reaction in the presence of the aforementioned metal catalyst followed by addition of an alkali to be treated therewith, or the prepared fluoroalkyl derivative may be isolated and then treated with an alkali. The reaction temperature and the reaction time for the treatment with an alkali as described above may be set to similar reaction conditions as for the reaction carried out in the presence of the metal catalyst. In this step, it is preferred that the molar ratio between the charged alkali and fluoroalkyl derivative ranges within 1:0.001-3, particularly preferably within 1:0.05-2. It is disadvantageous, from the industrial standpoint of view, to set the molar ratio of the fluoroalkyl derivative in an amount of less than 0.01 since the reaction temperature is raised, whereas it is not preferred to set the molar ratio thereof in an amount of more than 3 since the yield of the compound represented by the general formula (II) is decreased.

The reaction products obtained by the first and second processes of this invention may be purified through the known methods, such as column chromatography.

As will be appreciated from the foregoing, the fluoroalkyl derivatives of this invention are novel compounds which may be used as medicinal and agricultural chemicals, or intermediates for the synthesis thereof, and also as water- and oil-repellents. The processes of this invention have industrial utility since the fluoroalkyl derivatives can be prepared easily at high yield simply by reacting the compounds in the presence of the metal catalyst, or optionally by treating with alkali, without using any special device.
