Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for making hexafluoro-2-butyne comprising the steps of: (a) providing a composition comprising CF3CX=CXCF3, where X = halogen; and (b) treating CF3CX=CXCF3 with a dehalogenation catalyst in the presence of a halogen acceptor compound Y, where Y is not hydrogen. The halogen acceptor compound Y is a material capable of being halogenated, preferably a compound having a multiple bond, such as an alkyne, alkene, allene, or carbon monoxide. Another suitable material capable of being halogenated is a cyclopropane. A catalyst effectively transfers halogen from CF3CX=CXCF3 to the halogen acceptor compound. Since Y is not hydrogen, the formation of CF3CX=CHCF3 is greatly reduced or eliminated.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the preparation of fluorine-containing olefins comprising contacting a chlorofluoroalkane with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst at a temperature sufficient to cause replacement of the chlorine substituents of the chlorofluoroalkane with hydrogen to produce a fluorine-containing olefin. Also disclosed are catalyst compositions for the hydrodechlorination of chlorofluoroalkanes comprising copper metal deposited on a support, and comprising palladium deposited on calcium fluoride, poisoned with lead and reducing the in the presence or absence of a dehydrochlorination catalyst under conditions effective to form a product stream comprising cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene (HFO-1336).

A process for the preparation of perfluorinated cis-alkene comprising: reducing a perfluorinated alkyne with hydrogen over a palladium catalyst in the presence of a non-aromatic amine catalyst modifier to form a product which comprises a perfluorinated cis-alkene, wherein the perfluorinated alkyne has the general structure: RfC=CRf wherein Rf is a perfluorinated alkyl group having a carbon number in the range between about 1 to 6.
Abstract:
Disclosed are processes for the production of fluorinated olefins, preferably adapted to commercialization of CF 3 CF=CH 2 (1234yf). Three steps may be used in preferred embodiments in which a feedstock such as CCI 2 =CCICH 2 CI (which may be purchased or synthesized from 1,2,3- trichloropropane) is fluorinated (preferably with HF in gas-phase in the presence of a catalyst) to synthesize a compound such as CFaCCl=CH2, preferably in a 80-96% selectivity. The CF 3 CCl=CH 2 is preferably converted to CF 3 CFClCH 3 (244-isomer) using a SbCl 5 as the catalyst which is then transformed selectively to 1234yf, preferably in a gas-phase catalytic reaction using activated carbon as the catalyst. For the first step, a mixture Of Cr2O3 and FeCl 3 /C is preferably used as the catalyst to achieve high selectivity to CF 3 CCl=CH 2 (96%). In the second step, SbCl 5 /C is preferably used as the selective catalyst for transforming 1233xf to 244-isomer, CF 3 CFClCH 3 . The intermediates are preferably isolated and purified by distillation and used in the next step without further purification, preferably to a purity level of greater than about 95%.

Disclosed is a method for producing fluorinated organic compounds, including hydrofluoropropenes, which preferably comprises converting at least one compound of formula (I): CF 3 CF n CH m X a-m to at least one compound of formula (II) CF 3 CZCHZ where each X is independently Cl, I or Br; each Z is independently H or F; n is 1 or 2; m is 1, 2 or 3, provided that when n is 1, m is 1 or 2; a is 2 or 3, and a-m ≥ 0. Certain embodiments include the step of reacting fluorinated C2 olefin, such as tetrafluoroethylene, with a C1 addition agent under conditions effective to produce a compound of formula (I).
Abstract:
Disclosed are improved fluorination processes and fluorine-containing compositions which involve introducing to one or more fluorination process compositions a water reactive agent in an amount and under conditions effective to decrease the amount of water in that composition. The water reactive agent is preferably introduced to the fluorination reaction process at a location proximate to the site of the fluorination reaction, or upstream of the fluorination reaction, in amounts and under conditions effective to produce a relatively lower concentration of water in the composition, and preferably throughout the fluorination process.
