Abstract:
Processes for producing branched fluoroalkyl olefins are disclosed. In addition, novel halo-fluoroalkane intermediates are disclosed that may be used in the branched fluoroalkyl olefin production processes. Non-limiting examples of branched fluoroalkyl olefins include branched fluorobutenes, such as 1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-3-trifluoromethyl) but-1-ene (HFO-1438ezy). In some aspects, there is disclosed a method for dehydrobrominating 4-bromo-1,1,1,2,4-pentafluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)butane to produce 1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)but-1-ene (HFO-1438ezy).
Abstract:
A method of synthesizing 3,3,3-trifluoropropene including contacting 1,3,3,3-tetrachloropropane, in the vapor phase, at a temperature sufficient to effect dehydrochlorination to form 1,1,3-trichloro-1-propene. The 1,1,3-trichloro-1-propene is isolated and subsequently contacted, in the vapor phase, with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of a fluorination catalyst at a temperature sufficient to effect formation of 3,3,3-trifluoropropene.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an efficient and cost effect synthesis route from a specific starting material of 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene to the desired product of Z-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene.
