The present application provides a process to produce fluorinated vinyl
ether by reacting a 2-alkoxypropionyl fluoride with a metal carbonate
under anhydrous conditions in a stirred bed reactor at a temperature
above the decarboxylation temperature of an intermediate carboxylate to
produce a fluorinated vinyl ether. The process is carried out in the
absence of solvent. With the process described, fluorinated vinyl ether
of a high purity can be obtained in a high throughput manner.
