Usage

Description

1-Bromo-2-chlorotetrafluoroethane, with the molecular formula C2HClBrF4, is a colorless, nonflammable gas that belongs to the class of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It is known for its ozone-depleting properties and is primarily used as a refrigerant and propellant in aerosol products.

Uses

Used in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry:
1-Bromo-2-chlorotetrafluoroethane is used as a refrigerant in older refrigeration and air conditioning systems for its ability to absorb and release heat, providing cooling effects.
Used in Aerosol Products Industry:
1-Bromo-2-chlorotetrafluoroethane is used as a propellant in aerosol products, such as spray paints, deodorants, and cleaning agents, to disperse the product in a fine mist.
However, due to its potential harm to the environment and its ozone-depleting properties, the production and use of 1-bromo-2-chlorotetrafluoroethane have been restricted under the Montreal Protocol and other international agreements aimed at protecting the ozone layer. As a result, alternative compounds with lower ozone depletion potential are now being used in its place.

Reaction of Perfluoroalkanesulfinates with Allyl and Propargyl Halides. A Convenient Synthesis of 3-(Perfluoroalkyl)prop-1-enes and 3-(Perfluoroalkyl)allenes

The reaction of perfluoroalkanesulfinates, RfCF2SO2Na, with allyl and propargyl halides, in the presence of (NH4)2S2O8, gave 3-(perfluoroalkyl)prop-1-enes (RfCH2CH=CH2) and 3-(perfluoroalkyl)allenes (RfCH=C=CH2), respectively, in good yield.Evidence is presented for a radical addition-elimination mechanism for the reaction.The reaction represents a synthetically viable and convenient route to such compounds.
