Propanoic acid, 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-, methyl ester → Sodium pentafluoropropionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Example 1 was followed using methyl perfluoropropionate (3 mL, 23.4 mmol), sodium trimethylsilanolate (2.63 g, 23.4 mmol), dry methylene chloride (100 mL), and a 1 h reaction time. Sodium perfluoropropionate (4.0 g, 92% yield) was obtained as a white solid: 1H NMR (D2O) δ -82.4 (t, J=2 Hz, CF3, 3F), -120.1 ppm (q, J=2 Hz, CF2, 2F).
