Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of toluene, 16.5 g (90 mmol) of pentafluorophenol and 8 ml (99 mmol) of pyridine were dissolved. To the solution, 12.9 g (94 mmol) of ethyl 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 refined by distillation to obtain 13.5 g of pentafluorophenyl ethyl oxalate (colorless liquid). The compound had a melting point of 70 to 71° C./2 mmHg.
