Reaktionsschritte

A 500 ml flask was flushed with nitrogen to displace the air with nitrogen, and was charged with 70.0 g (0.50 mol) of α-trifluoromethylacrylic acid (supplied from Tosoh F-tech Inc.), 1.0 g (10 mmol) of sulfuric acid and 100 g of toluene. Separately 88.8 g (0.60 mol) of 2-methyleneadamantane, prepared by the same procedures as described in Reference Example 1, was dissolved in 100 g of toluene. The obtained solution of 2-methyleneadamantane in toluene was dropwise added to the content in the flask over a period of about 3 hours, while the content was maintained at a reaction temperature of about 5° C. Then the content was stirred for 15 hours at the same temperature. After completion of the reaction, the residual catalyst was neutralized by adding 40.0 g (50 mmol) of a 5% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and the neutralized liquid was washed with an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution. The thus-obtained organic phase was subjected to column chromatography, and further, analyzed by NMR and mass spectrometry. Thus, 133.9 g (yield: 93.0%) of the object 2-methyl-2-adamantyl α-trifluoromethylacrylate was obtained.
