Abstract

The research was focused on the defluorination of chlorofluoroethers to corresponding esters using porous aluminum fluoride (PAF) or MFn/PAF. In the work up process, the product was easily separated from the reagent. Thus, the reaction would be a practical preparation method for polyfluorinated esters. Trifluoromethyl chlorodifluoroacetate was obtained by the reaction of 1, 2-dichlorotrifluoroethyltrifluoromethyl ether with fuming ...
