Chlorotrifluoroethylene → HCID 20245388, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

52.4 Parts by weight of chlorotrifluoroethylene are introduced, over 10 hours, into a mixture of 46.5 parts by weight of methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate and 9.5 parts by weight of potassium hydroxide powder in 50 parts by weight of acetone, refluxing at 45°-52° C. After concentrating the reaction mixture on a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure, the residue is taken up in methylene chloride and the solution is extracted with sodium bicarbonate solution, dried and evaporated, giving 69.5 parts by weight of methyl 3-(1',1',2'-trifluoro-2'-chloroethoxy)-benzoate of nD25 =1.4710.
