METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING ETHYL TRIFLUOROACETATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing ethyl trifluoroacetate from trifluoroacetic acid. SOLUTION: This method for producing the ethyl trifluoroacetate, comprising reacting trifluoroacetic acid with ethylene to produce the ethyl trifluoroacetate, characterized by using an acid catalyst which is separated from the ethyl trifluoroacetate into two layers. The method facilitates the recovery and reuse of the catalyst after the reaction.
