Chemical Properties
Clear colorless liquid
Uses
Methyl 2-fluoroacrylate is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Synthesis
METHYL 2-FLUOROACRYLATE can be produced through DMPU/HF/Au-l Fluorination System. The DMPU-HF complex is reported to be acidic enough to activate the imidogold precatalyst (Au-1). In the monohydrofluorination of acceptor substituted terminal alkyne, the DMPU-HF-Au system was found to yield a reversed Michael addition product as the only regio-isomer with good yield.
