The use of perfluorocarbon (PFC) fluids such as perfluorinated alkanes and alkylamines as inert medium for organic reactions is demonstrated with advantages summarized. PFC fluids have been found to be very useful in organic reactions where a medium is needed for refluxing and for separating a low boiling component, or where an extremely nonpolar/inert medium is required for reactions carried out under vigorous conditions. The PFC fluids are not miscible with most organic compounds and therefore offer good separatory properties that common organic solvents do not have.
