Procedure

A 250 mL three necked round bottom was charged with [C4F9SO2N(CH3)CH2]2CHOH (6.8 g; 10 mmole), succinic anhydride 1.0 g; 10 mmole) 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.1 g) and toluene (100 mL). The ensuing mixture was stirred at 100° C. overnight, the toluene removed using a rotary evaporator, leaving a white solid residue that was triturated with toluene-hexane to yield [C4F9SO2N(CH3)CH2]2CHOC(O)C2H4COOH (5.2 g)
