Preparation of trifluoroiodomethane via vapour-phase catalytic reaction between pentafluoroethane and iodine

A new route for preparing C33I has been developed via a reaction between C2HF5 and I2. The influence of reaction temperature and active components of the catalysts on the amount of C33I was investigated. The result suggests that the selectivity of the C33I can be controlled by reaction conditions and active component of catalyst. The process for the formation of C33I and by-products is also discussed.

Investigation of CF2 carbene on the surface of activated charcoal in the synthesis of trifluoroiodomethane via vapor-phase catalytic reaction

This paper investigates the synthetic mechanism of trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) in the reaction of trifluoromethane and iodine via vapor-phase catalytic reaction. It is suggested that CF2 carbene is the key intermediate and is formed in the pyrolysis process of CHF3 at high temperature. However, in pyrolysis of CHF3 under activated charcoal (AC) existing conditions, no C2F4 was detected. H2 and 2-methyl-2-butene could not trap the CF2 carbene. When treating the remained compounds on the used AC with H2, CH4 is formed on the process. It is proposed that CF2 carbene combines with AC strongly and transfers into CF3 radical on heat. In addition, it is found that the AC is not only the catalyst supporter to form CF3I, but also a co-catalyst to promote the formation of CF2 carbene and CF3 radical.

Catalyst for the synthesis of CF3I and CF3CF2I

A process for the preparation of a fluoroiodoalkane compound represented by the formula: CF3(CF2)n—Y, wherein n is 0 or 1. The process includes contacting A, B and C. A is represented by the formula: CF3(CF2)n—Y, wherein n is 0 or 1, and Y is selected from the group consisting of: H, Cl, Br, and COOH. B is a source of iodine, and C is a catalyst containing elements with d1s1 configuration and lanthanide elements. The process occurs at a temperature, and for a contact time, sufficient to produce the fluoroiodoalkane compound.
