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

Procedure: The title compound was prepared essentially as in Example 1 using anhydrous potassium fluoride (31.9 g, 0.55 mole), anhydrous dimethyl formamide (184 g), perfluoroisobutryl fluoride (112.3 g of 77% purity, 0.4 mole), and diethyl sulfate (100.1 g, 0.65 mole). The resulting mixture was worked up essentially as in Example 3 to yield 80 g of the title compound. The product identity was confirmed by IR, GCMS, and 1H and 19F NMR.

Procedure: The title compound was prepared essentially as in Example 1 using anhydrous potassium fluoride (31.9 g, 0.55 mole), anhydrous dimethyl formamide (186 g), perfluoroisobutryl fluoride (108 g of 99% purity, 0.5 mole), and dimethyl sulfate (81.9 g, 0.65 mole). The resulting mixture was held at −20° C. for 16 hours, was warmed to 40° C. for 3.5 hours, and was then distilled to yield 109 g of the title compound (83.6% purity by GLC; also containing 11.6% (CF3)2CFCOF). The reaction mixtures from several runs were combined and distilled (b.=60-61° C.). was then distilled

Procedure: Perfluoroisobutyryl fluoride (17.76 g, 82 mmol) was distilled into a 3-neck flask (equipped with a cold finger condenser, mechanical stirrer and a nitrogen inlet) containing a slurry of potassium trimethylsilanolate (10.26 g, 80 mmol) in dry ether (500 mL). The mixture was stirred 3 h at room temperature with the condenser maintained at -40°; then it was cooled to -40° and stirred overnight. The solid was filtered under nitrogen, washed with dry ether, and dried under a stream of nitrogen to afford potassium perfluoroisobutyrate (12.29 g, 61% yield) as a white solid: 19F NMR (D2O) δ -72.2 (d, J=7.5 Hz, CF3, 6F), -171.8 ppm (sp, J=7.5 Hz, CF, 1F). Anal. Calcd. for C4F7KO2 : C, 19.05; F, 52.75. Found: C, 19.12; F, 52.70. (equipped with a cold finger condenser, mechanical stirrer and a nitrogen inlet) maintained at -40° then it was cooled to -40° stirred overnight The solid was filtered under nitrogen washed with dry ether dried under a stream of nitrogen
