Participants

Reaction Steps

Water (500.0 mL) and potassium hydroxide were added to a round bottom flask equipped with a stirrer. Methyl 4-(1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(perfluoropropoxy)propoxy)ethoxy)benzoate (50.0 g, 0.0856 mol), as prepared in Example 11, was then added via the addition funnel and the reaction was placed in an oil bath and heated to a gentle reflux overnight. The flask was allowed to cool before acidifying with concentrated HCl, down to ph˜1.0. The precipitate was filtered and dried overnight. The solids were analyzed by proton NMR to be 4-(1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(perfluoropropoxy)propoxy)ethoxy)benzoic acid.
