Abstract

Hexafluoroisobutene is an useful monomer for the synthesis of fluoropolymers. During the study of making the compound, we found potassium hydroxide acted as the dehydrating reagent upon hexafluoroisobutanol with mild conditions to give the monomer. The dehydrate reaction could easily carry out using powdered potassium hydroxide in the solvent or without solvent at moderate reaction temperatures. Hexafluoroisobutanol itself was synthesized with two steps from the methanol adduct of octafluoroisobutene. Hexafluoroisobutene was also made by the following route; ▪ Details will be presented.
