1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-methoxypropane

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Chain transfer agent of structure (1) may also be obtained by reaction of a fluorine containing alcohol R2OH with an alkylating agent of structure R1—L. In one example, reaction of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol with dimethyl sulfate in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide affords a partially fluorinated ether with the structure (CF3)2CHOCH3, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,346,448.
