Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled compound, by heating a heptafluoroisobutenyl alkyl ether readily obtainable from an octafluoroisobutyl alkyl ether and hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid in the presence of a water-soluble organic solvent under reflux. CONSTITUTION:An octafluoroisobutyl alkyl ether as a starting raw material is dehydrofluorinated with a base to give a heptafluoroisobutenyl alkyl ether readily. This compound is reacted with >=equimolar amount, generally 1-20 times as much hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid as the compound by mol under reflux of a water-soluble organic solvent such as acetone, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, etc., to give hexafluoroisobutanoic acid. EFFECT:Hexafluoroisobutanoic acid is obtained in high yield and octafluoroisobutane can be effectively used.
