Reaction Steps

As another example, the 2-difluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-propanol may be prepared by fluorinating commercially available 1,1,3-trichloro-2-propanone to form 1,1,3-trifluoro-2-propanone which may then be reacted with CF2 carbene to form 2-fluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene. The 2-fluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene may then be hydrogenated to form 2-fluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropane. The 2-fluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropane may then be dehydrogenated to form 2-difluoromethyl-1,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene which may then be reacted with hydrogen fluoride to form 2-difluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropane. The 2-difluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropane may then be dehydrogenated and then reacted with sulfuric acid and then water to form 2-difluoromethyl-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-propanol.
