Reaction Steps

A mixture of 84 g (0.54 mol) of methyl difluorofluoroformylacetate, 104 g (1.0 mol) of fluorosulfonic acid and 9 g (0.038 mol) of HSbF6 was heated at 100° to 115° for 20 h. Then, 25.6 g of volatile product, collected through a condenser in a -80° trap, and boiling in the range of -25° to +10°, was identified by IR as difluoromalonyl fluoride (66% yield) based on the stoichiometry 2 FOCCF2CO2CH3 :CF2 (COF)2. Dimethyl difluoromalonate was also formed.
