Aldehydes RFCH2CHO (R(F) is a linear perfluoroalkyl chain) have been obtained in the addition reaction of R(F)I to vinyl acetate in the presence of zinc. RFCH2CHIOAc is formed as an intermediate in the course of the reaction. Under appropriate conditions, RFCH2CHO and its acylal or acetal derivatives are obtained in good yields.
