- MICROWAVE SPECTRUM, BARRIER TO INTERNAL ROTATION, STRUCTURE, AND DIPOLE MOMENT OF 1,1,1,2-TETRAFLUOROETHANE
-
The microwave spectrum of CF3CH2F has been studied in the 8 to 26 GHz region, with b-type, Q- and R-branch transitions being assigned for the ground vibrational state and first excited torsional state.Relative intensity measurements give a torsional frequency of 108 +/- 18 cm-1, which lead to a barrier to internal rotation V3 = 3.3 +/- 0.8 kcal mol-1.The dipole moments determined from the observed first-second order Stark effect are μa = 0.411 +/- 0.009 D, μb = 1.75 +/- 0.22 D, and μtotal = 1.80 +/- 0.22 D.Observed moments of intertia suggest that the CF3 group is not symmetrical or its axis and the C-C bond are not collinear.The distance rF'...F' is obtained 2.1594 +/- 0.0006 Angstroem, where F' refers to the outer plane fluorine atoms in the CF3 group.

- Effect of acid strength of co-precipitated chromia/alumina catalyst on the conversion and selectivity in the fluorination of 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane to 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
-
Different fluorinated catalysts based on co-precipitated Cr2O3/Al2O3 and doped with compounds of Zn and/or Mg are prepared and their total acidity determined by TPD of ammonia. The influence of acidity of the above catalysts on the conversion and selectivity in the fluorination of HCFC-133a to give HFC-134a was studied. It was found that the selectivity for HFC-134a increases with a fall in the relative percentage of strong acid centres.

- Effect of calcination temperature on CrOx-Y2O3 catalysts for fluorination of 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane to 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
-
A series of CrOx-Y2O3 catalysts were prepared by a deposition-precipitation method and tested for the fluorination of 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (CF3CH2Cl) to synthesize 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (CF3CH2F). The highest activity was obtained on a pre-fluorinated catalyst calcined at 400 °C, with 19% of CF3CH2Cl conversion at 320 °C. The effect of the calcination temperature on the CrOx species was investigated. X-ray diffraction and Raman results indicated that the CrOx species (Cr(VI)) were well dispersed on the catalyst surface when the catalyst was calcined at 400 °C. With increasing calcination temperature, most of the CrOx species changed from high oxidation state Cr(VI) to low oxidation state Cr(V) or Cr(III) species, which resulted in difficulty in pre-fluorination of the catalyst. It was also found that the CrFx, CrOxFy or Cr(OH)xFy phases originated from high oxidation state Cr(VI) species were the active sites for the fluorination reaction.

- Efficient regioselective labelling of the CFC alternative 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) with fluorine-18
-
Efficient chemistry is described for the regioselective labelling of the CFC alternative 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane with cyclotron-produced positron-emitting fluorine-18 (t1/2 = 109.7 min). 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane was prepared by nucleophilic addition of no-carrier-added fluoride to trifluoroethylene and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane by nucleophilic displacement of tosylate with fluoride in 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl p-toluenesulphonate.Each reaction was mediated by a potassium cation-Kryptofix 2.2.2 complex, with or without acetonitrile as solvent, in a sealed glassy carbon vessel.The selectivities were 97.2 +/- 0.4percent for labelling in the 1-position by nucleophilic addition and 91.2 +/- 1.2percent for labelling in the 2-position by nucleophilic substitution.GC separation afforded each labelled tetrafluoroethane in high radiochemical purity (>99.995percent) and high chemical purity (>99.6percent).Specific radioactivities of about 37 MBq (1 mCi) per μmol were obtained.Each synthesis was fully automated to cope safely with the high initial radioactivity and delivered purified product within one physical half-life of the fluorine-18.The products are suitable for pharmacokinetic studies in man. - Keywords: Regioselective labelling; 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane; Fluorine-18; Nucleophilic addition; Nucleophilic substitution; Mass spectrometry

- Examples of catalytic and selective routes for fluorinated building blocks
-
Examples are presented for the catalytic fluorination of chlorinated starting materials in order to produce building blocks or HFCs. The fluorination of CF3CH2Cl, of CCl2=CCl2, of trichloromethoxylbenzenes and trichloromethoxybenzene involving nucleophilic substitution are reported. In all cases, HF was the fluorinating agent. Depending on the chlorinated substrate and the degree of fluorination required, liquid- or gas-phase processes were involved. Usually, catalysts were SbCl 5 in liquid phase and chromium oxide in gas phase. In the presence of SbCl5, at 90 °C under an initial pressure of 10 bar, the fluorination of CCl2=CCl2 leads mainly to the formation of CClF2CHCl2, and the active catalyst is an antimony mixed halide (SbCl3F2). In the same way, the presence of SbCl5 favored the formation of 1-trifluoromethyl-3- trichloromethylbenzene from bis-1,3-trichloromethylbenzene at low temperature (50 °C) and in the presence of a low amount of HF. Moreover, trichloromethoxybenzene was totally transformed into trifluoromethoxybenzene. At 380 °C and at atmospheric pressure, the transformation of CF 3CH2Cl into CF3CH2F was favored over chromium oxide-based catalyst modified by zinc (corresponding to a (Zn/Zn + Cr) molar ratio of 0.22).

- Explored routes to unknown polyfluoroorganyliodine hexafluorides, R FIF6
-
Two routes to RFIF6 compounds were investigated: (a) the substitution of F by RF in IF7 and (b) the fluorine addition to iodine in RFIF4 precursors. For route (a) the reagents C6F5SiMe3, C6F 5SiF3, [NMe4][C6F 5SiF4], C6F5BF2, and 1,4-C6F4(BF2)2 were tested. C 6F5IF4 and CF3CH2IF 4 were used in route (b) and treated with the fluoro-oxidizers IF7, [O2][SbF6]/KF, and K2[NiF 6]/KF. The observed sidestep reactions in case of routes (a) and (b) are discussed. Interaction of C6F5SiX3 (X = Me, F), C6F5BF2, 1,4-C6F 4(BF2)2 with IF7 gave exclusively the corresponding ring fluorination products, perfluorinated cyclohexadiene and cyclohexene derivatives, whereas [NMe4][C6F 5SiF4] and IF7 formed mixtures of C 6FnIF4 and C6FnH compounds (n = 7 and 9). CF3CH2IF4 was not reactive towards the fluoro-oxidizer IF7, whereas C6F 5IF4 formed C6FnIF4 compounds (n = 7 and 9). C6F5IF4 and CF 3CH2IF4 were inert towards [O 2][SbF6] in anhydrous HF. CF3CH 2IF4 underwent C-H fluorination and C-I bond cleavage when treated with K2[NiF6]/KF in HF. The fluorine addition property of IF7 was independently demonstrated in case of perfluorohexenes. C4F9CFCF2 and IF7 underwent oxidative fluorine addition at -30 °C, and the isomers (CF 3)2CFCFCFCF3 (cis and trans) formed very slowly perfluoroisohexanes even at 25 °C. The compatibility of IF7 and selected organic solvents was investigated. The polyfluoroalkanes CF 3CH2CHF2 (PFP), CF3CH 2CF2CH3 (PFB), and C4F9Br are inert towards iodine heptafluoride at 25 °C while CF3CH 2Br was slowly converted to CF3CH2F. Especially PFP and PFB are new suitable organic solvents for IF7.

- 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.

A improved process is described for the preparation of a substantially pure, liquefied stream of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane by the catalyzed reaction of trichloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride to form the intermediate 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and then reacting said intermediate 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane with hydrogen fluoride, in the presence of a hydrofluorination catalyst to form a reaction stream containing 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. The improvement comprises liquefying the by-product hydrogen chloride formed in the preparation of the intermediate 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and countercurrently passing said liquefied hydrogen chloride thru the reaction stream containing 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane thereby forming a substantially pure, liquefied stream of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and an effluent comprising gaseous hydrogen chloride.

Those reaction mixtures, however, were found to be efficient fluorinating agents replacing hydroxyl groups in alcohols into fluorine. In general, they react with alcohols yielding corresponding fluorides, equimolar amounts of appropriate 3,3,3-trifluoropropionamide and hydrogen fluoride. Aliphatic primary alcohols including octanol and benzylic alcohol yield only alkyl fluorides. The secondary and tertiary alcohols, beside the desired fluorides, give usually considerably amount of alkenes.

- Chloropentafluoroethane hydrodechlorination over tungsten carbides: Influence of surface stoichiometry
-
The relationship between the mode of activation and the catalytic properties of tungsten carbides was studied. Tungsten carbides were prepared by temperature-programmed reaction of WO3 with methane/hydrogen mixture and activated according to several thermal treatments by varying the temperature or the feed composition. The acid-base characteristic increased with the extent of decarburization of the surface. The surface properties of WC could be adjusted toward the formation of unsaturated compounds or alternatively toward hydrogenolysis compounds. However, the convergence observed in the temperature-programmed selectivity curves, whatever the initial C/W ratio, showed that the sample surfaces reach similar compositions by recarburization during reaction. Such acidic properties were involved in the dehydrohalogenation of chloropentafluoroethane responsible mainly for the formation of unsaturated compounds.

Catalytic fluorination of trichloroethene by anhydrous hydrogen fluoride at 653K in the presence of fluorinated amorphous chromia under static conditions leads to a mixture of products in which partially halogenated olefins predominate. These are converted to mixtures containing CF3CH2F and CF3CH2Cl by a second fluorination using fresh catalyst. The results of product analyses from reactions carried out under various conditions have been used to design a synthesis of [18F]-CF3CH2F from CCl2CHCl. It is proposed that [18F] labelling occurs via direct [18F]- for [19F] exchange rather than by a dehydrofluorination/hydrofluorination route. [36Cl]-labelled CF3CH2Cl is readily prepared from CF3CH2F and H36Cl in the presence of chromia catalysts. Enthalpies of dehydrofluorination of CF3CH2F and CF3CH2Cl in the vapour phase have been computed.Non-SI units employed: ?=10-10m; a.u.≈4.36×10-18 J≈6.27089×102kcalmol-1.1

- Turnover Rate, Reaction Order, and Elementary Steps for the Hydrodechlorination of Chlorofluorocarbon Compounds on Palladium Catalysts
-
The rates of hydrodechlorination catalyzed by Pd supported on carbon for four chlorofluorocarbons spanned a range of 7 orders of magnitude. The rates scaled up to the bond strength of the carbon-chlorine bond for the gas-phase reactant. This finding demonstrates that the rate-determining step involves the scission of the C-Cl bond and suggests, through Polanyi and linear free-energy relationships, that rates for other compounds can be estimated if the C-Cl bond strength is known. The reaction orders for the most abundant products are approximately first-order for the chlorine-containing compound, half-order in H2, and inverse first-order in HCl. The reaction steps consistent with these orders include a rate-determining step involving the adsorption of the chlorofluorocarbon to a single site (which could be a single surface palladium atom) and equilibrated steps between gas-phase H2, gas-phase HCl, and adsorbed hydrogen and chlorine atoms. The rates on the supported catalysts are comparable to the ones reported before on a Pd foil, indicating that the support does not play a role in the reaction. The product distribution is independent of conversion, implying that the various products are formed from a single visit of the reactant on the surface and not from readsorption of gas-phase products. The four compounds studied were chloropentafluoroethane (CF3-CF2Cl), 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (CF3-CFClH), 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CF3-CFCl2), and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (CF3-CCl3).

- Hydrodechlorination of 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane over Pd/Al2O3 catalyst. Effect of hydrogen pressure and catalyst pretreatment
-
An alumina-supported palladium catalyst has been studied in CF3CFCl2 hydrodechlorination at 100°C using a static-circulation system. At higher partial pressures of H2, when the existence of the β-PdH phase is awaited, the reaction occurs similarly as at lower hydrogen pressures. This indicates that either the β-PdH formation does not have any special effect on active sites of this reaction, or the presence of CF3CFCl2 in the system inhibits this phase transformation. Various pretreatments of the 2 wt.% Pd/Al2O3 influence markedly its catalytic behavior. In particular, reoxidation and subsequent low temperature reduction of the catalyst, prereduced at 600°C, generates a very high activity, however, the selectivity towards CF3CFH2 is not much altered.

- vic-difluorination of fluoroalkenes with xenon difiuoride: The effect of fluorine substituents on the reaction of alkenes with xenon difluoride
-
vic-Difluorination proceeds by the reaction of fluoroalkenes with xenon difluoride to afford the corresponding fluorinated compounds. From the reaction with polyfluoroalkenes, the products are obtained in high to excellent yields. In this reaction, the fluorine atom substituent of alkene stabilizes the cation intermediate and suppresses side-reactions such as rearrangement.

- Hydrodechlorination of 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane and dichlorodifluoromethane catalyzed by Pd on fluorinated aluminas: The role of support material
-
The gas phase hydrodechlorination of CF3CFCl2 to CF3CFH2 and CF2Cl2 to CF2H2 catalyzed by Pd supported on Al2O3, a series of fluorinated Al2O3, and AlF3 was investigated. A combination of reaction kinetics investigations and characterization by in situ FTIR spectroscopy has been performed. It has been found that for reactions involving CF3CFCl2, all catalysts exhibit a rapid and significant decrease in activity; however, little change in activity with time on stream occurs with CF2Cl2. FTIR investigations suggest the occurrence of direct reaction between the CFC and the support material, which results in the consumption of hydroxyl groups during the early stages of reaction. The effect of fluorination of support on catalytic behavior of Pd is discussed.

- Structure Insensitivity and Effect of Sulfur in the Reaction of Hydrodechlorination of 1,1-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CF3-CFCl2 ) over Pd Catalysts
-
The kinetics of the hydrodechlorination of 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC 114a) was studied on Pd(111), Pd(100), and a Pd foil at atmospheric pressure. The three products formed were CF3-CFH2 (HFC 134a), CF3-CFClH (HCFC 124), and CF3-CH3 (HFC 143a) with selectivities independent of conversion. The single crystals and foil (model catalysts) were studied in an apparatus that permitted the direct transfer of samples between a high pressure cell (1 atm) and an ultrahigh vacuum chamber. The reaction rates were measured in the temperature range of 350 to 470 K. The reaction is not sensitive to the structure of the catalyst, as indicated by the similar turnover rates for all catalysts tested. The reaction is inverse first order in the reaction product HCl on all samples. Sulfur adsorbed on the Pd surface depressed the rates of formation of 134a more strongly than the rates of 124 and 143a.

- Generation of radical species in surface reactions of chlorohydrocarbons and chlorocarbons with fluorinated gallium(III) oxide or indium(III) oxide
-
The reactions of C1 and C2 chlorohydrocarbons and chlorocarbons have been studied with the Lewis acid catalysts fluorinated gallium(III) oxide and fluorinated indium(III) oxide, respectively. Product analysis shows chlorine-for-fluorine exchange reactions together with the formation of 2-methylpropane and its chlorinated analogues 2-chloromethyl-1,3-dichloropropane and 2-chloromethyl-1,2,3-trichloropropane. Reactivities of the chlorohydrocarbon probe molecules show fluorinated gallium(III) oxide to be a stronger Lewis acid than fluorinated indium(III) oxide. The formation of the symmetrical butyl compounds is consistent with the generation of surface radical species and is also consistent with a 1,2-migration mechanism operating within radical moieties at the Lewis acid surface.

- Selective reduction of halopolyfluorocarbons by organosilicon hydrides
-
It is demonstrated that silicon hydrides can be used for reduction of polyfluorinated halocarbons. For example, the reaction between CF3CCl2F and excess triethylsilane, catalyzed by benzoyl peroxide, leads to the formation of a mixture containing CF3CHClF (major), CF3CH2F, and ClSi(C2H5)3. On the other hand, the reaction of chlorofluoroalkanes, containing an internal -CCl2- group readily proceeds with reduction of both chlorines, leading to compounds such as (CF3)2CH2 and CF3CH2C2F5. In contrast to chlorofluoroalkanes, bromofluoroalkanes are much more reactive and reaction with hydrosilane rapidly proceeds without the catalyst at elevated temperature.

- Catalytic synthesis of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane from 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane - A mechanistic consideration
-
1,1,1,2-Tetrachloroethane and its fluorinated derivatives as well as trichloroethene are fluorinated by hydrogen fluoride in the presence of a pre-conditioned chromia catalyst. The reaction pathways are derived under different conditions. Fluorinated haloalkanes are formed both by dehydrochlorination/hydrofruorination mechanism as well as chlorine/ fluorine exchange mechanism. Thus, beside fluorinated alkanes considerable amounts of haloolefins occur in the product mixture. A survey is given on the reaction pathway showing dependence on the reaction conditions. It is discussed with respect to calculated thermodynamic data. Kinetic and mechanistic investigations of the isomerisation reactions of 1.1.2.2-tetrafluoroethane on a CFC-conditioned chromia catalyst are also presented. The desired 1.1.1.2- tetrafluoroethane can be obtained from its symmetric isomer in the presence of a chromia catalyst conditioned exclusively with chlorine-free fluorocarbons. Mechanistic information is obtained by employing DCl which behaves similar to HF during the consecutive isomerisation reaction of 1.1.2.2- tetrafluoroethane. Thus, it is most probable that dehydrohalogenation/hydrohalogenation processes (elimination/addition mechanism) are mainly responsible for the formation of the haloolefins and halocarbons observed on chromia.

- Properties of chromium (III) oxides involved in the catalytic gas phase fluorination of CF3CH2Cl
-
The fluorination of chromium oxides reduces the chromium species on the surface. A low fluorination by HF does not modify the total amount of reversibly oxidizable chromium sites, but increases the strength of these sites. Mobile dioxygen (measured by isotopic exchange) was required to obtain a good fluorination activity. These dioxygen species would be exchanged by HF which is probably active in the fluorination of CF3CH2Cl and would prevent the irreversibly catalyst fluorination.

- Mechanistic aspects of the isomerization reactions of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane on a CFC-conditioned chromia catalyst
-
The mechanism of the isomerization reactions of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane on a CFC-conditioned chromia catalyst was investigated. The desired 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane can be obtained from its symmetric isomer in the presence of a chromia catalyst conditioned exclusively with chlorine-free fluorocarbons. In the presence of chlorofluorocarbons, hydrogen chloride is formed as a result of the decomposition reactions of the haloalkane used and is strongly adsorbed on to the surface. This HCl causes a very complex system of side-reactions. In addition, a second kind of chlorine, inactive chloride bonded to chromium, is formed which can only be removed as the result of a very slow solid-gas reaction. Mechanistic information was obtained by examining the effects of substituting DCl for HCl as the chlorine source for the reaction with consecutive isomerization products of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane. Thus, it is most probable that dehydrohalogenation/hydrohalogenation processes (elimination/addition mechanism) are mainly responsible for the formation of the halo-olefins and halocarbons observed on chromia. As the HCl/DCl adsorbed on the surface is very quickly removed by the reactions with the halocarbons and halo-olefins, it is advantageous to employ pulse techniques to evaluate this reaction system.

- Catalytic hydrodechlorination of 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane by Pd/Al2O3
-
Palladium supported on γ-alumina displays high activity for the hydrodechlorination of 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane. High H2 partial pressures are needed to avoid deactivation, and steady state is obtained after ~5 h time on stream. Under these conditions (H2/CFC feed ratio = 20) the reaction is zero order in H2 partial pressure and positive (0.65) order in 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane partial pressure. Three main products are formed: 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, and 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, with approximately 85% selectivity toward the desired CF3CFH2. The apparent activation energies associated with the formation of each product range from 52 to 68 kJ/mol. All three major products have a nonzero rate of formation in the limit of zero conversion, the implication of which is that all are primary products. The kinetics results are consistent with a reaction mechanism involving a carbene intermediate. Variation of the temperature at which the catalyst is prereduced from 300 to 600°C results in an increase in particle size from 11-53 nm and in an increase in the hydrodechlorination TOF from 2.3 to 5.0 s-1.

The System CF3IMe3P is re-investigated and Me2PCF3, Me4P+I-, (CF3)2PMe3, Me3PI2, [Me3(CF3)P]+I- are found as products. Using CF3Br/P(NEt2)3 the phosphines R12PCF3 and R1P(CF3)2 (e.g. R1 = Me, iPr, NEt2) can be obtained which are precursors either for phosphoranes (e.g. 1,2λ5σ5-oxaphosphetanes) or phosphonium salts (e.g. [R12(Me)PCF3]+X- or [R1(Me)P(CF3)2X-]. The latter are deprotonated to furnish methylene phosphoranes R12(CH2=)PCF3 or R1(CH2=)P(CF3)2, reactive synthons. From CF3Br/ P(NEt2)3/P(OPh)3 the phosphine P(CF3)3 is available, which turned out to be a potent electrophile. Amido phospites ROP(NEt2)2 and halides R2X (R2= CCl2CF3, X= Cl; R2= CF=CFCF3, X= F; R2= C6F5, X= Br, I; R2= C(CF3)3, X= Br; R2= SCF3, X= CF3) undergo an ARBUZOV reaction.
