There is provided a process for producing a fluorinated vinyl ether from a
fluorinated acid fluoride compound having an ester group as a precursor
of a carboxylic acid group, or a SO.sub.2F group as a precursor of a
sulfonic acid group, in high yield by simple operations.Said process is a
production process comprising pyrolyzing a carboxylic acid potassium salt
with a specific structure represented by the following formula in the
absence of a solvent and/or while maintaining the salt in the solid
state: ##STR00001## wherein X is --CO.sub.2R or --SO.sub.2F, and R is an
alkyl group.
