Abstract: A method for preparing fluorinated carboxylic acids and theirs salts is described comprising subjecting a fluorinated to at least one first and at least one second oxidizing agent to produce a highly fluorinated carboxylic acid or their salts. The first oxidizing agent is a compound that can be converted, by action of the second oxidizing agent, into a reactive species capable of oxidizing the fluorinated alcohol.

Abstract: A method for preparing fluorinated carboxylic acids and theirs salts is described comprising subjecting a fluorinated alcohol of the general formula (A): A-CH2—OH to at least one first and at least one second oxidizing agent to produce a highly fluorinated carboxylic acid or their salts of the general formula (B): A-COO M+, wherein M+ represents a cation and wherein A in formulas (A) and (B) is the same and A represents the residue: Rf-[0]p-CX?Y?-[0]m-CX?Y?-[0]n-CXY— wherein Rf represents a fluorinated alkyl residue which may or may not contain one or more catenary oxygen atoms, p, m and n are independently from each other either 1 or O, X, X?, X?, Y, Y? and Y? are independently from each other H, F, CF3, or C2F5 with the proviso that not all of X, X?, X?, Y, Y? and Y? are H; or A represents the residue: R—CFX— wherein X and R are independently selected from a hydrogen, a halogen, or an alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, or aryl residue, which may or may not contain one or more fluorine atoms and which may or may no
