Usage

General Description

FLUOROPENTACHLOROETHANE, also known as CFC-113, is a chemical compound consisting of five chlorine atoms and one fluorine atom attached to an ethane backbone. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is primarily used as a solvent in the manufacturing of certain polymers, resins, and cleaning products. However, its production and use have been phased out due to its harmful effects on the ozone layer. It is classified as a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), a type of chemical known for its destructive impact on the ozone layer and contribution to global warming. Its production and use are heavily regulated under the Montreal Protocol in an effort to protect the Earth's ozone layer and mitigate climate change.

Conversion of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane to 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane and 1,1-dichlorotetrafluoroethane over aluminium-based catalysts

Conversion of CCl2FCClF2 to CCl2FCF3 is achieved in the temperature range, 593-713 K, under flow conditions by using the catalysts, β-AlF3 or γ-alumina, prefluorinated with CCl2F2/sub

REACTIONS OF CHLORINE MONOFLUORIDE. IV. ADDITION OF CHLORINE MONOFLUORIDE TO HALOGEN-SUBSTITUTED ALKENES

The reactions of chlorine monofluoride with halogenoethylenes (1,1-dichloro-, 1,2-dichloro-, trichloro-, and tetrachloroethylenes) and halogenopropenes ( 3-bromo-, 3,3,3-trichloro-, E- and Z-1,3-dichloro-, 3-chloro-2-methyl-, and perfluoropropenes) were investigated in inert solvents in the presence of ethyl acetate as external nucleophile.In all cases chloroacyloxy adducts were isolated and identified in addition to the chlorofluorination products, and this indicates an electrophilic mechanism for the chlorofluorination of polyhalogenoalkenes.Methyl chloromaleate, chlorofumarate, chlorofluoroethylenedicarboxylate, α,β-difluoroacrylate, and perfluoromethacrylate in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride form the corresponding chlorofluoro adducts with satisfactory yields, whereas the reaction takes place with difficulty in inert solvents.
