A process for preparing ketones, for example CF.sub.3 C(O)CH.sub.3, CF.sub.3 C(O)CH.sub.2 C(O)CF.sub.3 and CF.sub.3 C(O)CF.sub.2 H, in which .beta.-ketoesters are transesterified and decarboxylated using a carboxylic acid, for example trifluoroacetic acid, in the presence of a catalyst, particularly an "onium" salt of a carboxylic acid or an effective amount of a proton-donating acid, preferably a sulfonic acid such as alkyl- or arylsulfonic acids, or a mineral acid. The process is advantageously carried out in the absence of water, so that no formation of acetals or hydrates occurs, and no dehydrating step is needed. The process is simple to carry out, and if transesterification is carried out with a sufficiently active carboxylic acid, for example with trifluoroacetic acid, the presence of an additional catalyst is unnecessary.
一种用于制备酮类化合物,例如CF3C(O)CH3,CF3C(O)CH2C(O)CF3和CF3C(O)CF2H的过程,其中β-酮酸酯在催化剂的存在下通过与一种羧酸,例如三氟乙酸进行酯交换和脱羧反应。所述催化剂特别是一种羧酸的“铵”盐或有效量的质子供体酸,优选为磺酸,如烷基磺酸或芳香族磺酸,或一种矿物酸。该过程有利地在不加水的情况下进行,以避免形成缩醛或水合物,且无需脱水步骤。该过程操作简单,如果使用足够活性的羧酸进行酯交换,例如使用三氟乙酸,则无需额外的催化剂。
