Sulfuric Acid → HCID 86756382, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

With 500 g of myristic acid were mixed 1,100 g of perfluorooctylethanol and 2,300 ml of toluene, and 20 g of concentrated sulfuric acid was slowly added with stirring. The resulting mixture was vigorously refluxed for about 2 hours and 30 minutes to carry out the reaction until water was removed azeotropically. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled and then treated with decoloring carbon. Acetonitrile was added with stirring and the resulting mixture was ice-cooled to 5° C. to 10° C., followed by crystallization for 1 hour. The crystals precipitated were subjected to washing filtration with acetonitrile and then dried to obtain 1,120 g (yield: 75%) of perfluorooctylethyl myristate.
