Uses

Used in Non-stick Coating Industry:
1-chloroheptadecafluorooctane is used as a surfactant for the production of non-stick coatings, providing a smooth and durable surface that resists adhesion of various materials.
Used in Lubricant Industry:
In the lubricant industry, 1-chloroheptadecafluorooctane is employed as a surfactant to enhance the performance of lubricants, offering reduced friction and wear between moving parts.
Used in Fire-fighting Foam Industry:
1-chloroheptadecafluorooctane is used as a surfactant in fire-fighting foams, improving their ability to extinguish fires by creating a stable foam that adheres to the fuel source and smothers the flames.
However, due to its persistence in the environment and potential to accumulate in organisms, 1-chloroheptadecafluorooctane raises health and environmental concerns. As a result, there is growing regulatory attention aimed at limiting its use and environmental release, in order to mitigate the risks associated with PFAS compounds.

Reactivite par voie thermique de RFH

Hydroperfluoroalkanes are well known as being rather inert chemically.Hydroperfluoroalkanes react at high temperature with carbon tetrabromide and carbon tetrachloride to yield bromoperfluoroalkanes and chloroperfluoroalkanes. - Keywords: Hydroperfluoroalkanes; High-temperature reaction; Carbon tetrabromide; Carbon tetrachloride; Bromoperfluoroalkanes; Chloroperfluoroalkanes

ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF PERFLUOROALKYLCHLORIDES

Electrooxidation of perfluorocarboxylic acids in the presence of Cl2 yields perfluoroalkylchlorides RFCl.It is suggested that anodic oxidation of perfluorocarboxylate ions is the determining electrochemical stage in this electrochemical version of the Borodin-Hundsdikker reaction.

A Lewis acid catalytic process for preparing fluorocarboxylic acid halides

Selected Group III and Group V Lewis acids were found to catalyze the isomerization and rearrangement of halosulfonyldifluoromethyl group (Rf-CF2SO2X, where X is either chlorine or fluorine) to form fluorocarboxylic acid halides (RfCOX). Fluorodesulfoxylation of the halosulfonyldifluoromethyl group yielded SOF2 as one of the two sulfur-containing oxides. Product analysis would suggest that both Lewis acid catalyzed and halogen exchange reactions are occurring and are dependent upon the starting halosulfonyldifluoromethyl material and Lewis acid.

DIRECT GAS-PHASE CATALYTIC FLUORINATION OF PARTIALLY FLUORINATED ORGANIC COMPOUNDS

The fluorination of a wide range of polyfluorinated organic compounds with molecular fluorine in the gas phase in a layer of NiF2/support as catalyst was investigated.It was shown that the selectivity of fluorination of the series of fluoroolefins, acid fluorides, polyfluoroalkanes, and hydrogen-containing ethers can be greatly increased.The developed method was used on an industrial scale in the production of perfluorinated liquids.

Chlorotrifluoroethylene-derived fluids. I. Model compound synthesis

A series of chlorofluoroalkanes having chlorines on adjacent carbon atoms has been prepared, i.e. n-C5F11CFClCCl3, n-C6F13CFClCCl3, n-C5F11CFClCFCl2, n-C6F13CFClCFCl2, n-C5F11CFClCF2Cl, n-C2F5CFClCFClC3F7 and n-CF3CFClCFClC4F9, by a combination of halogen exchange, dehalogenation and chlorine addition reactions.An attempt to synthesize n-C6F13CFClCF2CFCl2 by the coupling of n-C6F13CFClI with an excess of ICF2CFCl2 under UV radiation in the presence of Hg gave only n-C6F13CFClCFClC6F13 together with CFCl2CF2CF2CFCl2.Under parallel conditions from n-C6F13CFClI and CF2ClCFClI, n-C6F13CFClCFClCF2Cl was obtained in 48percent yield.
