Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl carbonate

Methyl chloroformate (130 mL, 159 g, 1.68 mol) was added slowly over a period of 3 h to a solution of 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropanol (132 g, 1.00 mol) in pyridine (300 mL, anhydrous) at −10° C. to 0° C. with magnetic stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Then, the reaction mixture was mixed with 5% HCl (500 mL) and approximately 50 g of ice, and the resulting mixture was extracted three times with 300 mL portions of ether. The combined organic layer was washed three times with 100 mL portions of 5% HCl, followed by two washes with 100 mL portions of 5% sodium carbonate. The organic phase was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Ether was removed by rotary evaporation. The crude product (approximately 200 g) was distilled, yielding 166 g (87% yield) of pure methyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl carbonate, also referred to herein as “FS-C”. NMR analysis data were consistent with the literature values (U.S. Pat. No. 5,659,062).
