polymethylpentene (TPX) 5 L beaker with mechanical stirrer,
tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (339.5 g, 1 mol) in
chloroform (3 L) was treated with a solution of KHCO3 (100.1
g, 1 mol) in water (300 mL) and stirred for 10 min at 20 °C.
Then solid KHF2 (390.5 g, 5 mol) was added and stirring
continued for 1 h at 20 °C. The suspension was filtered
through a glass microfiber filter (Whatman) in a Buchner
funnel with suction, the salts were washed with chloroform
(200 mL), the filtrate was poured into a separatory funnel,
the lower clear organic layer was separated, and the filtrate
was concentrated to ca. 500 mL. The resulting solution,
containing still some solid, was filtered through normal paper
in a funnel, evaporated, and dried while stirred magnetically
for 1 day at 20 °C/0.1 mbar. The resulting solvent-free colorless
oil (296 g, 98%) was used directly in the next step.
