Participants

Reaction Steps

In the dry box, the (4-(1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(perfluoropropoxy)propoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)methanol (36.5 g, 0.656 mol) and methyl methacrylate (40.0 g, 0.40 mol) were added to a round bottom flask equipped with a stirrer. Titanium(iv) n-butoxide (0.50 mL) was then added to the round bottom flask. The reaction was placed in an oil bath and heated to reflux over about 3 hours. Then the reaction product was distilled to remove excess methyl methacrylate. The content was analyzed by proton NMR and shown to be 4-(1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(perfluoropropoxy)propoxy)ethoxy)benzyl methacrylate.
