Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under protective gas, 22 g (0.18 mol) of benzoyl fluoride and 55.3 g (0.18 mol) of perfluoroisopropyl iodide in 150 ml of CH2Cl2 are initially introduced into a round-bottomed flask. 45 g (0.18 mol) of phosphorous acid trisdiethylamide are added dropwise at about -70° C. The mixture is stirred for 12 hours at -70° C. and, after warming, worked up analogously to Example 1. 38.5 g (78%) of 1-phenyl-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-propan-1-one of b.p. 90°-92° C./80 mbar are obtained.
