Procedure

Methyl 2,2,3,3,3-Pentafluoropropyl carbonate was prepared by the same manner as the example 4 except that K2CO3 (0.046 g) was used as a catalyst in stead of a 284 sodium methoxide/methanol solution (1.3 g). After 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropanol and dimethyl carbonate were allowed to react, the mixture thereof was passed through a column filled with silicagel (8 g) in order to remove K2CO3, and was distilled to give methyl 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropyl carbonate as a colorless liquid (yield 55%).
