A production method of a 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone hydrate according to the present invention includes: step 1: step 1: obtaining a reaction mixture that contains at least 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-3-pentyn-2-one or an equivalent thereof by reaction of a 3,3,3-trifluoropropynyl metal with a trifluoroacetate; and step 2: forming the 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone hydrate by contact of the reaction mixture obtained in the step 1 with water in the presence of an acid. It is possible to produce 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone by dehydration of the thus-formed hydrate. Thus, the production method according to the present invention is industrially applicable.

Method for producing 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetone

The present invention relates to a first process for producing a 2,2-bis(fluoromethyl)-6-(perfluoroalkyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-4-carboxylic acid. The first process includes the steps of (a) reacting a 2,2-bis(fluoromethyl)-6-(perfluoroalkyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-4-one with a perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid anhydride in the presence of a base, thereby obtaining a perfluoroalkanesulfonic 2,2-bis(fluoromethyl)-6-(perfluoroalkyl)-2H- 1-benzopyran-4-yl ester; and (b) reacting the benzopyranyl ester with carbon monoxide in the presence of a palladium complex compound and a base, thereby obtaining the carboxylic acid. The present invention further relates to a second process for producing a 2-hydroxy-5-(perfluoroalkyl) acetophenone, which can be a raw material for producing the carboxylic acid. The second process includes the steps of (c) reacting a 4-(perfluoroalkyl)alkoxybenzene with acetic anhydride or an acyl halide in the presence of a Lewis acid, thereby obtaining a 2-alkoxy-5-(perfluoroalkyl)acetophenone; and (d) dealkylating the 2-alkoxy-5-(perfluoroalkyl) acetophenone by a dealkylating agent.
