The invention relates to a
chemical synthesis process, and particularly relates to a process for synthesizing 2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropionic acid. According to the process, N, N-diethyl-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropionamide as the starting material is subjected to a
hydrolysis reaction under the acidic condition by using a catalyst; the
side product N, N-diethyl-2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropionamide obtained by the
fluorine substitution reaction of N, N-diethyl-1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropionamide is effectively utilized to obtain high-purity 2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropionic acid through the simple, easily-operated and easy separation and extraction process, the addition of the catalyst greatly accelerates the
reaction speed and improves the product yield which reaches 96 percent, the benefit is built, the waste liquid treatment cost is reduced, and the environment is protected; the raw materials in the invention are low in price and easily obtained, the
reaction conditions are mild, the reaction is speedy, the process is simple, easily operated and easily treated; and the process is beneficial for achievement of industrialization.
