Participants

Reaction Steps

In 35 ml of toluene, 10 g (54 mmol) of pentafluorophenol and 5 ml (61 mmol) of pyridine were dissolved. To the solution, 7.2 g (59 mmol) of methyl chloroglyoxylate were added dropwise under an ice bath for the reaction. After 1 hour stirring at room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated. The thus obtained crude product was purified by distillation to obtain 10.1 g of pentafluorophenyl methyl oxalate. The compound had a melting point of 34 to 35° C.
