A process is provided for the manufacture of fluoralkyliodides of high molecular weight from the corresponding perfluoralkyliodides of lower molecular weight. In this process a perfluoralkyliodide is telomerized with a perfluorethylene or a perfluorpropylene each optionally containing at most one chlorine atom, and an amine, in the presence of a metal salt of a metal of groups IIIa, IIIb to VIIIb of the 4th to 6th period or of groups Ia or IIa of the Period Table as a catalyst at 0 DEG to 350 DEG C and under a pressure from 0 to 200 atmospheres (gauge). |
