The invention provides a synthesis method of 1, 1, 3, 3-tetrafluoro-2-
acetone, and belongs to the technical field of
fluorine-containing compound synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: by taking ethyl 4, 4-difluoroacetoacetate as a
raw material, carrying out fluorination reaction to obtain an intermediate difluoroacetyl ethyl difluoroacetate; the intermediate is subjected to a
hydrolysis decarboxylation reaction to generate 1, 1, 3, 3-tetrafluoro-2-
acetone, and then the product is extracted and purified through normal-pressure rectification separation to obtain the 1, 1, 3, 3-tetrafluoro-2-
acetone. The method is mild in reaction condition, short in reaction time and high in treatment efficiency, the purity of the prepared 1, 1, 3, 3-tetrafluoro-2-acetone reaches 97.8% or above, and the highest purity can reach 98.5%; the yield reaches 77.4% or above; meanwhile, the method is easy to operate, low in cost,
environmentally friendly, safe, reliable and low in
equipment requirement.
