Abstract
The reactivity of ethyl 2-(α-hydroxyhexafluoroisopropyl)acrylate (1) was studied. The addition of thioacetic acid to compound1 occurs at 20°C, while reactions with thiols proceed only at 120°C and are accelerated in the presence of an acid catalyst. Dealkylation of acrylate1 with iodotrimethylsiliane affords 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-2-iodomethyl-3-trifluoromethylbutyric acid, which served as the starting compound for the synthesis of 3-chloro-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-iodomethyl-3-trifluoromethylbutyroyl chloride, a potential precursor of alicyclic fluorine- and sulfur-containing CH-acids.
