Ethyl chlorofluoro acetate

When the required amount of chlorotrifluoroethylene has been absorbed, the reaction mixture is poured into 500 ml. of water. The product separates as a light-yellow oil, which is separated, washed with 250 ml. of water, and dried over 20 g. of anhydrous calcium chloride. From 233 g. of chlorotrifluoroethylene (2 moles), the yield of crude product is 300-315 g. (92-97%). This material is suitable for use in preparation of ethyl chlorofluoro-acetate.2 It may be fractionated through an efficient column to give 285-300 g. (88-92%) of pure chlorotrifluoroethyl ethyl ether, b.p. 87-88°, d 1-3427.
