Present invention relates to novel fluorinated ethers and to a process for producing such fluorinated ethers. Such fluorinated ethers find use in as solvents, anesthetics, refrigerants, cleaning compositions, dry cleaning compositions, blowing agents, flame retardants, formulations of dyes used in optical recording media, microemulsions, and heat transfer compositions. The fluorinated ethers have the formula R-O-R1 wherein R = CF3-CXH-CYZ wherein each of X, Y and Z are independently H or halogen; and R1 is a C1 to C16 alkyl group or a halogen substituted C1 to C16 alkyl group. |
