Abstract
The reactivity of ethyl 2-(alpha-hydroxyhexafluoroisopropyl)acrylate ( 1) was studied. The addition of thioacetic acid to compound 1 occurs a t 20 degrees C, while reactions with thiols proceed only at 120 degree s C and are accelerated in the presence of an acid catalyst. Dealkylat ion of acrylate 1 with iodotrimethyisilane affords ro-3-hydroxy-2-iodo methyl-3-trifluoromethylbutyric acid, which served as the starting com pound for the synthesis of 4-trifluoro-2-iodomethyl-3-trifluoromethylb utyroyl chloride, a potential precursor of alicyclic fluorine- and sul fur-containing CH-acids.
