PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF (FLUOROALKYLTHIO)ACETIC ACID ESTERS

摘要

Disclosed is a process for producing a (fluoroalkylthio)acetic acid ester represented by the formula (3) wherein R, R 1 and R 2 have the same meanings as defined below, which comprises reacting a thioglycolic acid ester represented by the formula (1) wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R 1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with fluoroolefin represented by the formula (2) wherein R 2 represents a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, in the presence of a radical generator.
