If desired, mixtures of ?uorinated compounds. In addition, this invention re these alkali metal ?uorides may be used. The alkali metal lates to novel 2-hydrohepta?uorobutenes. 15 ?uoride should be ?nely divided and anhydrous. The Fluorine-containing compounds are of great potential amount of alkali metal ?uoride to be used depends upon value for a wide variety of purposes. However, use of the number of chlorine atoms to be replaced in the poly many of these compounds is severely limited because of chlorohydrocarb-on starting material.
