PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FLUOROPROPANES AND HALOPROPENES

A process is disclosed for making CF3CF2CH3, CF3CF=CH2 and/or CF3CCI=CH2. The process involves reacting at least one starting material selected from the group consisting of halopropanes of the formula CX3CH2CH2X, halopropenes of the formula CX3CH=CH2 and halopropenes of the formula CX2=CHCH2X, wherein each X is independently F or Cl, with HF and CI2 in a reaction zone to produce a product mixture comprising HF, HCI, CF3CF2CH3, CF3CF=CH2, and CFsCCI=CH2; and recovering the CF3CF2CH3, CF3CF=CH2 and/or CFsCCI=CH2 from the product mixture. Also disclosed is a process for making CF3CH2CHF2, CFsCH=CHF, and/or CFaCH=CHCI. This process involves reacting at least one starting material selected from the group consisting of halopropenes of the formula CX3CH=CH2 and halopropenes of the formula CX2=CHCH2X, wherein each X is independently F or Cl, with HF and CI2 in a reaction zone to produce a product mixture comprising HF, HCI, CF3CH2CHF2, CFsCH=CHF and CF3CH=CHCI; and recovering the CF3CH2CHF2, CFsCH=CHF, and/or CF3CH=CHCI from the product mixture. The molar ratio of HF to the total amount of starting materials fed to the reaction zone for both of these processes is at least stoichiometric, and the molar ratio of Cl2 to total amount of starting material fed to the reaction zone for both of these processes is 2:1 or less.

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1,1,1,3,3-PENTAFLUOROPROPANE AND 1,1,1,2,3-PENTAFLUOROPROPANE

A process is disclosed for the manufacture of CF3CH2CHF2 and CF3CHFCH2F. The process involves (a) reacting hydrogen fluoride, chlorine, and at least one halopropene of the formula CX3CCl=CClX (where each X is independently F or Cl) to produce a product including both CF3CCl2CClF2 and CF3CClFCCl2F; (b) reacting CF3CCl2CClF2 and CF3CClFCCl2F produced in (a) with hydrogen to produce a product including both CF3CH2CHF2, and CF3CHFCH2F; and (c) recovering CF3CH2CHF2 and CF3CHFCH2F from the product produced in (b). In (a), the CF3CCl2CClF2 and CF3CClFCCl2F are produced in the presence of a chlorofluorination catalyst including a ZnCr2O4/crystalline α-chromium oxide composition, a ZnCr2O4/crystalline α-chromium oxide composition which has been treated with a fluorinating agent, a zinc halide/α-chromium oxide composition and/or a zinc halide/α-chromium oxide composition which has been treated with a fluorinating agent.

19F nuclear magnetic resonance studies of halogenated propanes

The relationship between 19F chemical shifts in halogenated propanes and their structures are elucidated using MNDO calculations to determine the population of rotamers.The pairs of atom gauche to a fluorine atom and van der Waals interaction between the two terminal substituents are responsible for the 19F chemical shifts.The differences among chemical shifts in diastereomers are also discussed in terms of the conformation of molecule.

Synthesis of > and Some Chlorofluoropropenes

The starting substances C3Cl5F3 (1) and C3Cl4F4 (2) prepared earlier by the addition of CCl3F with CClF=CClF and/or CF2=CClF were utilized for the synthesis of chlorofluoropropenes by means of fluorination, reduction of C-Cl bonds in halogenopropanes, and final dehalogenation, all the reactions being performed at atmospheric pressure.The reaction conditions permit laboratory scale production.The contents of the isomeric admixtures in the resultant products were determined by NMR spectroscopy.The starting halogenopropanes 1, 2 represent mixtures of isomers, but in course of the individual synthetic steps the content of the main isomer was generally increased.In comparison with previously used syntheses, our procedure proves advantageous for the synthesis of "perfluoroallylchloride" (9a, isomer purity 95percent).Using this procedure a number of halogenopropanes were prepared and dechlorinated to give the corresponding halogenopropenes (isomer purity percent): CClF2-CClF-CCl2F (2a, 87), CF3-CClF-CCl3 (2b, 78), CClF2-CClF-CClF2 (3a, 87), CF3-CClF-CCl2F (3b, 90), CF3-CClF-CHCl2 (5a, 90), CF3-CClF-CHClF (6a, 73), CClF2-CF=CClF (8a, 93), CF3-CF=CCl2 (8b, 84), 9a, CF3-CF=CClF (9b, 86) and CF3-CF=CHCl (11a, 84).The minor isomers in substance 2 yielded products which were isolated after being combined from several preparations: CClF2-CF2-CHCl2 (5b, 84); CClF2-CF=CHCl (10a, 98), which by addition of chlorine yielded CClF2-CClF-CHCl2 (4a, 95).The NMR spectra of all the major and minor products, excluding perhalogenopropanes, are listed.
