Reaction Steps

In 100 ml 20% ethanol/water is added 11 g (71.4 mmol) 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 2-methyl-2-propenyl ether and 0.59 g (0.642 mmol) 1,4-diazobicyclo(2,2,2)octane. Rhodium tris-triphenylphosphine chloride (16 g, 142.8 mmol) is then added to the stirring mixture, and the solution is heated to 90° for 4 hr. The reaction is then cooled, brought up in pentane, filtered, washed with water and brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The crude product is distilled, yielding 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl 2-methyl-1-propenyl ether.
