Abstract
A process for producing 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol or 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol which comprises hydrogenating a fluoro compound having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or CF.sub.3 and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or a straight- or branched-chain alkyl group, which can also be fluoro-substituted, in the liquid phase in the presence of a palladium-on-activated-carbon catalyst, and if desired a tertiary amine co-catalyst.
