Participants

Reaction Steps

In this example the product was prepared in two synthetic steps. In the first step hexafluoroamyl alcohol was reacted with 100% molar excess of oxalyl chloride. Upon completion of the reaction the excess oxalyl chloride was stripped from the product at reduced pressure to produce hexafluoroamyl chlorooxalate having an assay of 91.3% and in a corrected yield of 52.8%. In the second step hexafluoroamyl chlorooxalate was reacted with 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydroperoxyhexane, in the presence of pyridine, to yield the product as described below:
