A new method to prepare the desired 3,4,4-trifluoro-3-butenoic acid (IV) involves a one pot reaction of 1-chloro-1,2-dibromotrifluoroethane (VI) or 1,1,2-trichloretrifluoroethane (X) with vinylidene chloride in the presence of ammonium persulfate/sodium formate/air in DMF to give directly 4-bromo-3-chloro-3,4,4-trifluorobutanoic acid (VIII) or novel compound 3,4-dichloro-3,4,4-trifluoro-butanoic acid (XI). The reaction conditions to prepare XI from X are similar to those described in Hu, Chang-Ming; Qing, Feng-Ling; Zhang, Hong-Gen; J. Fluorine Chem., 1990, (49) 275-280. The formation of XI in the above reaction was confirmed by GC/MS (EI): m/z 212 (M+ 2), 210 (M+), 195, 193, 157, 155, 127, 125, 107, 105, 89, 69, 45. Dehalogenation of VIII or XI with zinc gives IV. ##STR6##
