Product 1

HCID 128460263-Methoxy-2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropionyl chlorideYield 95.2%

Procedure

A mixture of 47.4 g 3-methoxytetrafluoropropionic acid and 67.3 g phosphorous pentachloride was heated and the contents distilled to obtain a pale yellow liquid boiling to 102°. Redistillation of this liquid yielded 49.8 g (95.2%) 3-methoxytetrafluoropropionyl chloride, b.p. 84°-86°.
