Reaction Steps

In this experiment, neopentyl 1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl carbonate is used as the starting material. A mixture of 3.3 g (0.011 mole) of neopentyl 1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl carbonate, 1 g (0.017 mole) of anhydrous KF, 5 g (0.001 mole) of polyethyleneglycol monomethylether (average molecular weight 5000 Aldrich) and 10 cc of benzonitrile is heated under stirring at 65° C. (oil bath). The reaction is stopped at the end of 34 hours. By infrared and NMR analysis it is determined that the fluoroformate is obtained in a 76% yield.
