Sulfuric Acid → HCID 19788866, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

As another example, 2-fluoromethyl-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-2-pentanol may be prepared by fluorinating 3-pentanone to form 3,3-difluoropentane which may then be dehydrogenated to form 3,3-difluoro-1-pentene. CF3 may then be reacted with the 3,3-difluoro-1-pentene to form 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3,3-trifluoropentane which may then be dehydrogenated to form 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3,3-trifluoro-1-pentene. The 2-trifluoromethyl-1,3,3-trifluoro-1-pentene may then be reacted with sulfuric acid and then water to form 2-fluoromethyl-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-2-pentanol.
