The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a fluoroacetic acid ester, and the like.
Fluoroacetic acid esters are effective compounds as starting materials of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As a method for producing a fluoroacetic acid ester, a method for reacting a chloroacetic acid ester with KF in the presence of an additive is known. On the other hand, a method in which an additive is not used is also known. As an example, Non-patent Literature 1 discloses a method comprising reacting a chloroacetic acid ester with 1.2 equivalents of KF, then adding an ether to filtrate an inorganic material, and isolating a target product by distillation. Non-patent Literature 2 discloses a method comprising reacting a chloroacetic acid ester with 1.1 equivalents of KF, then directly subjecting the resultant to distillation to distill an organic material, followed by rectification to isolate a target product.
The present disclosure includes the following aspect.

A composition comprising methyl 2-fluoroacetate and ethyl 2-fluoroacetate.
One embodiment of the present disclosure is described in more detail below by way of the Examples; however, the disclosure is not limited thereto.
The viscosity of a suspension comprising methyl chloroacetate and 1.0 molar equivalent of potassium fluoride (corresponding to the reaction solution in the Comparative Example) and a suspension comprising methyl chloroacetate and 0.5 molar equivalent of potassium fluoride (corresponding to the reaction solution in the Example) at 25° C. was measured using a viscometer (SV-10, produced by A&D Company Ltd.). The results are shown in Table 1.
The results showed that the use of 0.5 molar equivalent of potassium fluoride could reduce viscosity (reduce solid precipitation), provide excellent stirring efficiency, and improve productivity as compared to the use of 1.0 molar equivalent of potassium fluoride.
Potassium fluoride (30.7 g, 0.53 mol) and methyl chloroacetate (116 g, 1.07 mol) were placed in an autoclave, and then the autoclave was sealed. With stirring, the internal temperature was raised to 208° C. and the reaction was performed for 12 hours. The conversion and selectivity at 2, 5, and 12 hours after the start of the reaction are shown in Table 2.
After cooling, the crude solution was extracted by vacuum distillation. Rectification was then performed to isolate methyl fluoroacetate. The formulation of the composition immediately after reaction, after vacuum distillation, and after rectification is shown in Table 3.
In the table, “%” means “mass %” and “-” means “below detection limit.”
