Improved methods to prepare CF3OCH3

The reaction of CH3I with CF3OCI at 203 K yields CF3OCH3. The preparation of the ether by methylation of CsOCF3 with (CH3)2SO4 is also described.

Method for preparing fluorine-containing ether

The invention relates to a 'method for preparing fluorine-containing ether', and belongs to the field of chemical synthesis. The method comprises the steps that under a nitrile solvent condition, carbonyl fluoride, trifluoroacetyl fluoride, pentafluoropropionyl fluoride, heptafluoro-n-butyryl fluoride, heptafluoro-iso-butyryl fluoride and other acyl fluorides are taken as raw materials to have anaddition reaction with metal fluorides to obtain perfluoroalkoxide, then under water catalysis, the perfluoroalkoxide and a low-toxic or even non-toxic harmless alkylating agent are subjected to an alkylation reaction to obtain the fluorine-containing ether. The method for preparing the fluorine-containing ether has the advantages that not only is the reaction condition mild, the yield of the fluorine-containing ether is high, but also the low-toxic or even non-toxic harmless alkylating agent is taken as a safe alkylation agent, the process is safe and reliable, and effective separation can beperformed by an ordinary distillation means in the industry.

Compositions of a hydrofluoroether and a hydrofluorocarbon

This invention relates to compositions that include at least one fluoroether and at least one hydrofluorocarbon. Included in this invention are compositions of a cyclic or acyclic hydrofluoroether of the formula CaFbH2a+2?bOc wherein a=2 or 3 and 3≦b≦8 and c=1 or 2 and a hydrofluorocarbon of the formula CnFmH2n+2?m wherein 1≦n≦4 and 1≦m≦8. Such compositions may be used as refrigerants, cleaning agents, expansion agents for polyolefins and polyurethanes, aerosol propellants, heat transfer media, gaseous dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents, power cycle working fluids, polymerization media, particulate removal fluids, carrier fluids, buffing abrasive agents, and displacement drying agents.

Perfluoroalcohols

Perfluorinated primary alcohol adducts with triethylamine were prepared from lower perfluorinated acid fluorides and triethylamine monohydrofluoride. They are stable compounds and may be used as a source of RFO groups in organic syntheses.
