1-chloro-1,1-difluoropentane-2,4-dione

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

Procedure: A mixed solution containing 50 g of 1-chloro-1,1-difluoro-2,4-pentanedione, 60 g of ethyl orthoformate and 82 g of acetic anhydride was refluxed with stirring for 2 hours. After a Dean-Stark apparatus (water separator) was fixed, the solution was refluxed for additional 4 hours, while about 100 ml of water was removed. After it was allowed to cool, vacuum distillation was conducted to obtain 32.2 g of the desired product as a pale red liquid. Boiling point 95°-118° C./1.6 mmHg. was refluxed was removed to cool vacuum distillation
