Abstract The reaction of fluoroglyoxylic acid esters and fluoroformic acid esters with perfluoropropene (PFP) yielded perfluoro (3-methyl-2-oxobutyric) acid esters and perfluoroisobutyric acid esters, respectively. Oxamide derivatives and 2, 3-quinoxalinediol have been prepared by the reaction of perfluoro (3-methyl-2-oxobutyric) acid esters with amines and o-phenylenediamine, respectively. Perfluoro (3-methyl-2-oxobutyric) acid ...
