Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

174 g (1.74 mol) of methyl methacrylate and 1.5 g of hydroquinone are initially introduced into an autoclave, and 200 g (1.74 mol) of trifluorochloroethylene are added at -70° C. 7 bar of nitrogen are injected, and the mixture is then heated to 140° C. The pressure which is established at this temperature is increased to 28 bar by injecting more nitrogen. The mixture is maintained at 140° C. for 17 hours and then allowed to cool, the pressure is released, and the mixture is distilled. In this process, 203 g (54% of theory) of methyl 1-methyl-2-chloro-2,3,3-trifluoro-cyclobutane-1-carboxylate are obtained in form of a liquid of boiling point 57° C. at 17 mbar.
