Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3,4,4-trifluoro-3-butenoyl chloride (1.7 g, 0.0107 mole) and 1-octanethiol (0.72 g, 0.0049 mole) is heated at 70° C. for 12 h. The crude product is purified by passing through a short column of silica gel to give 1.2 g of the desired product as a pale yellow oil, a 91% yield.
