Procedure
A 100-ml glass reaction vessel, equipped with a thermometer, a stirrer and a reflux condenser filled with glass spheres, was charged with 12.5 g of the obtained 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone dihydrate and 25 g of 98% sulfuric acid, while nitrogen gas was allowed to flow through the reaction vessel. Then, the mixture was gradually heated to 80° C. with stirring by a magnetic mixer. During this heating, 9.5 g of a distillate of about 70° C. were collected. This distillate was found by the same gas chromatography as that of Example 1 to be 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone having a purity of 99.9%.
