To provide a method for producing a perfluorinated compound, capable of easily producing a perfluorinated compound from which a high molecular weight polymer can be produced by a polymerization reaction, and a method for producing a fluorinated polymer using it.
A method for producing a perfluorinated compound, which comprises step A of reacting a perfluoroalkoxide salt with a perfluoroallylating agent to obtain a crude product A containing a perfluoroallyl ether compound, or step B of subjecting a chlorofluorocarbon compound to dechlorination reaction to obtain a crude product B containing a perfluorinated α-olefin compound, to obtain a crude product X which is either the crude product A or the crude product B, and
mixing the crude product X with a radical source to bring radicals generated by the radical source and the crude product X into contact with each other to obtain a crude product Y containing a perfluorinated compound which is either the perfluoroallyl ether compound or the perfluorinated α-olefin compound.
