Abstract:
Disclosed in one embodiment is a process for the synthesis of 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene that comprises (a) reacting a compound of formula (I) X 1 X 2 with a compound of formula (II) CF 3 CH=CH 2 to produce a reaction product comprising a compound of formula (III) CF 3 CHX 1 CH 2 X 2 , wherein X 1 and X 2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, bromine and iodine, provided that X 1 and X 2 are not both hydrogen; (b) when X 2 in formula (III) is not fluorine, fluorinating the compound of formula (III) to produce a reaction product comprising a compound of formula (III) wherein X 1 is as described above and X 2 is fluorine; and (c) exposing said compound of formula (III) to reaction conditions effective to convert said compound to 1,3,3,3,-tetrafluoropropene. In another embodiment, the process comprises (a) reacting chlorine with a compound of formula ( I) CH 3 CH=CH 2 to produce a reaction product comprising a compound of formula ( II) CCI 3 CHC1CH 2 C1; (b) fluorinating the compound of formula ( II) to produce a reaction product comprising a compound of formula ( III ) CF 3 CHC1CH 2 F; and (c) exposing said compound of said formula ( III ) to reaction conditions effective to convert said compound to 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the synthesis of 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene which comprises, in one embodiment, reacting a compound of CF3X1 with a compound of CX2H=CHX3, wherein X1, X2, and X3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, to produce a reaction product comprising a compound of CF3CH=CHX3, wherein X3 is as described above; and when X3 is not fluorine, fluorinating the compound to produce 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene. The process in another embodiment comprises preparing tetrafluoropropene comprising thermally cracking one or more compounds capable of producing a reaction mixture which preferably comprises diflurocarbene radicals and vinylidene fluoride, and converting said reaction mixture into -tetrafluoropropene (1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene).
