Reaction Steps

2H,2H,3H,3H-Perfluoroundecanoic acid (1.354 g, 2.75 mmol), N-hydroxysuccinimide (348 mg, 3.02 mmol) and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (622 mg, 3.02 mmol) were dissolved in ethyl acetate (120 ml) and stirred for 18 hours at ambient temperature. The white precipitate which formed (dicyclohexylurea, DCU) was filtered and the remaining solution was evaporated to dryness. The residue was recrystallised twice from ethyl acetate. Yield 1.00 g (62%) containing traces of DCU.
