Synthesis of 2-trifluoromethoxyethyl trifluoromethoxyacetate and derived 2-trifluoromethoxyacrylates
摘要:
The synthesis of 2-trifluoromethoxyethyl trifluoromethoxyacetate 2 by oxidation of bis(2-trifluoromethoxyethyl)ether 1 followed by its anionic condensation with aldehydes, ketones and immonium salts under mild conditions, and further dehydration or deamination, enabled the preparation of 3-aryl and 3-alkyl-2-trifluoromethoxacrylates 8a-e as well as the parent 2-trifluoromethoxyacrylate 8f.

We describe the first gram scale preparation of the reagent dichlorotrifluoromethoxyacetic acid. This stable compound is obtained in five steps starting from the cheap diethylene glycol. The reactivity of the sodium salt of this fluorinated acid was also tested and allowed the preparation of new amides.
