Transesterification of dialkyl carbonates with fluorine-containing alcohols

Reactions of transesterification of dimethyl, diethyl and dibutyl carbonates with 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoroethyl-, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluorobutyl- and 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-dodecafluorohexyl-carbinols were investigated in the presence of various catalysts. It was found that the conversion of starting dialkyl carbonate increases upon increasing the length of fluorine-containing radical in the presence of sodium alkoxide. It was shown that the maximum conversion of dimethyl carbonate (90%) was achieved in its reaction with 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentan-1-ol upon using catalysts such as K2CO3, NaOH, and sodium alkoxide. To achieve similar values of the conversion, Ti(OEt)4 and Ti(OiPr)4 should be used in the cases of diethyl and dibutyl carbonates, respectively.

Transesterification of Dialkyl Carbonates with 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoropropan-1-ol

Transesterification of dialkyl carbonates with 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropan-1-ol in the presence of various bases leads to the formation of mixtures of bis(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl) carbonate and alkyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl carbonate. The best catalyst for the synthesis of alkyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl carbonates was found to be tetramethylammonium hydroxide which ensured 81% selectivity for methyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl carbonate, the conversion of dimethyl carbonate being 50%. Lithium alkoxides showed a comparable catalytic efficiency.
