Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for purifying/separating a 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester from a reaction mixture resulting from the fluorination of a 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester. The method involves depleting the reaction mixture of a hydrogen fluoride byproduct; and subsequently, separating the 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester by distillation. The 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester obtained by the method of the invention is highly pure and is thus suitable for use as an intermediate for the production of pharmacological products or agricultural chemicals.

Abstract:
A process for producing a fluorinated alcohol from a fluoroalkyl halide through a one-stage reaction in high yield with high selectivity without using a highly toxic compound such as a heavy metal compound, which is difficult to handle or treat. The process, which is for producing a fluorinated alcohol represented by the general formula (2): Rf(A)OH (2) (wherein Rf represents C1-10 perfluoroalkyl and A represents a C3-10, linear or branched, saturated hydrocarbon group), is characterized by reacting a fluoroalkyl halide represented by the general formula (1): Rf(A)X (1) (wherein Rf and A are the same as defined above and X represents halogeno) with an alkali metal salt of 4-hydroxybutyric acid in Ϝ-butyrolactone as a solvent.
Abstract:
A process for preparing 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid esters by fluorinating a 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester with fluorine gas, characterized in that the concentration of the 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester in the reaction fluid is kept at 3 wt% or above; and a process for purifying 2-fluoro-3- oxoalkylcarboxylic acid esters, characterized by washing a product of fluorination of a 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester with at least thrice as much water as the substrate to thereby obtain a purified 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester in a high yield. According to these processes, high-purity 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid esters useful as intermediates for drugs or agricultural chemicals can be efficiently prepared through inhibition of by-product formation or efficient purification of products of fluorination of 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid esters.

Abstract:
A process for producing a 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester by fluorinating 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester with a fluorine gas is provided. The process is characterized in that the concentration of 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester in the reaction mixture for fluorination is maintained at 3wt% or higher. Also provided is a process for purifying 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester characterized in that 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester is produced at high yield and with less impurities by washing fluorinated 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester with 3 or more times as much water as the amount of reaction mixture. According to the processes of the present invention, not only is the generation of unwanted by-products minimized, but fluorinated 3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester can be purified in an efficient manner. Thus, the present invention permits efficient production of considerably pure 2-fluoro-3-oxoalkylcarboxylic acid ester, a useful intermediate material in the production of various medical and agricultural agents.
