Reaction Steps

101 ml of oxalyl chloride and 0.1 ml of dimethylformamide was added to a solution of thus obtained 131 g of the 4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acid in 1 liter of pentane, and the resultant solution was refluxed for three hours. Then the reaction solution was distilled to yield 112 g of 4,4,4-trifluorobutyryl chloride in a yield of 76%. (b.p. 103° C./760 mmHg)
