Method for producing fluorine-containing polyether carboxylic acid amide

Abstract

A fluorine-containing polyether carboxylic acid amide represented by the general formula: CnF2n+1O(C3F6O)mRfCONHAr, wherein Rf is a fluorocarbon group having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, Ar is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group, n is an integer of 1 to 3, and m is an integer of 10 to 30, is produced by reacting a fluorine-containing polyether carboxylic acid fluoride represented by the general formula: CnF2n+1(C3F6O)mRfCOF, wherein Rf, n, and m are as defined above, with a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic amine compound represented by the general formula: ArNH2, wherein Ar is as defined above; wherein the reaction is carried out while a reaction temperature is first increased to 80 to 100° C., and then increased at a temperature increase rate that produces a temperature difference of 3 to 5° C. after 48 hours.
