Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (11.5 ml; 158 mmoles) was added to α-trifluoromethylacrylic acid (19.7 g; 141 mmoles), and the mixture was heated under reflux for 22 hours. Distillation of the reaction mixture under atmospheric pressure gave 14.7 g (yield:66%) of α-trifluoromethylacryloyl chloride, B.p. 89°-90° C.
