Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 21.5 g (0.067 mol) of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-hexafluoro-2-propanol and 6.8 g (0.067 mol) of triethylamine in 25 ml of dry diethyl ether was added dropwise with stirring at a temperature of 20° C. to a solution of 8.7 g (0.08 mol) of α-fluoroacryloyl chloride (obtained according to Example 4) in 25 ml of dry diethyl ether in the course of 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then stirred at a temperature of 20° C. for a further 3.5 hours. The resulting solid was filtered off. The filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure after addition of 0.005 g of hydroquinone monomethyl ether. 18.8 g (71 percent of theory) of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-hexafluoro-2-propyl α-fluoroacrylate having a boiling point of 66° to 69° C. (under 0.13 mbar) were obtained.
