Oxalic Acid → HCID 57173889, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

12.48 Grams of 4-hydroxy-6-[4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenylthio]-2-hexanone were dissolved in 150 ml of toluene, and 1.50 g of oxalic acid were added thereto. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 hours with stirring, allowed to cool and then treated in the same manner as in Production example 34. Thus, 11.76 g of 6-[4-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)phenylthio]-3-hexen-2-one (trans : cis =4.6 : 1) were obtained (purity: 98.0%). Further, the product was column chromatographed to obtain a purified product having a refractive index (nD23) of 1.5202. The yield was 96.8%.
