Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 131 g of 4,4,4-trifluorobutyric acid and 1 liter of pentane, 101 ml of oxalyl chloride and 0.1 ml of dimethylformamide were added, and the mixture was heated at reflux for 3 hours. The reaction solution was distilled at normal pressure to give 112 g of 4,4,4-trifluorobutyryl chloride (b.p. 103° C., 760 mmHg) (yield: 76%).
