Patent ID: 10844000

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for preparing a 2-fluoroacrylate, comprising the steps of: (1) mixing a vinyl ether having the structure of formula A with dichloromonofluoromethane to yield a substituted cyclopropane compound having the structure of formula B; (2) mixing the substituted cyclopropane compound having the structure of formula B with R2OH to yield an acetal product having the structure of formula C, followed by hydrolysis to yield 2-fluoroacrylaldehyde having the structure of formula D; or reacting the substituted cyclopropane compound having the structure of formula B with water to yield 2-fluoroacrylaldehyde having the structure of formula D via hydrolysis; (3) oxidizing 2-fluoroacrylaldehyde having the structure of formula D to yield 2-fluoroacrylic acid having the structure of formula E; and (4) mixing 2-fluoroacrylic acid having the structure of formula E with R3OH to yield a 2-fluoroacrylate having the structure of formula F.
