Reaction Steps

DMF (3 drops) was added to a solution of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid [889940-13-0] (179 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (160 mL) at rt. Slowly added a solution of oxalyl chloride (197 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL). After stirring for 14 h, the reaction mixture was carefully evaporated (500 mbar, 33° C.) to afford the title compound (volatile!) as a yellow solution.
