Ethyl vinyl ether → HCID 59202558, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

14.0 g of 2-trifluoromethylacrylic acid (2-TFMAA) and 30 g of ethyl vinyl ether were stirred at room temperature under nitrogen and using a DRY ICE condenser. The initial endotherm gave way to a mild exotherm to approximately 33° C. and some outgassing (reflux). The reaction was complete in 15 minutes. Et2O added. Organics were washed with 10% Na2CO3 (containing a small amount of NaOH), saturated NaHCO3 and finally brine followed by drying with MgSO4. Evaporated on rotary evaporator at 30° C. Yield 29.0 g of colorless liquid.
