Reaction Steps

Dimethyl formamide (1.0 mL) and oxalylchloride (239 mL) were added to a 0° C. solution of 4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acid (343 g) in dry methylene chloride (230 mL) and warmed to room temperature overnight. The methylene chloride was removed by distillation and the residue distilled to yield 4,4,4-trifluorobutyryl chloride (328 g, 85%); bp 103°-106° C.; partial NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 2.47-2.64 (m, 2H, CF3CH2) 3.19 (t, H, CH2COCl).
