Usage

Uses

Used in Refrigeration Industry:
1,2-Dichlorofluoroethane is used as a refrigerant for cooling systems due to its thermodynamic properties and non-flammability.
Used in Aerosol Products:
1,2-Dichlorofluoroethane is used as a propellant in aerosol products, providing the force needed to dispense the product.
Used in Industrial Applications:
1,2-Dichlorofluoroethane is used as a solvent in some industrial applications, such as in the production of certain chemicals and materials.
Used in Polystyrene Foam Production:
1,2-Dichlorofluoroethane is used as a blowing agent in the production of polystyrene foam, helping to create the foam's cellular structure.
Environmental and Health Considerations:
Exposure to 1,2-dichlorofluoroethane can cause irritation to the respiratory system, skin, and eyes, and long-term exposure may lead to more serious health effects. Additionally, it is a potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential, and its production and use are regulated under international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol to mitigate its impact on climate change.

REACTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS WITH SF4-HF-HALOGENATING SYSTEM VII. REACTIONS OF OLEFINS WITH THE SF4-HF-Cl2(Br2) SYSTEM

Under the influence of the SF4-HF-Cl2(Br2) system halogen-containing olefins undergo conjugate halogenofluorination.It was shown for the case of (Z)- and (E)- 1,2-dichloroethenes that these reactions take place anti-stereospecifically through the formation of the bromonium ions.The accumulation of chlorine atoms in the olefin molecule hinders electrophilic addition of stoichiometric equivalents of ClF and BrF at the double bond.The SF4-HF-Br2 system is an effective agent for substitutive fluorination of organic compounds containing bromine.Only the bromine atoms situated at the secondary carbon atom are substituted by fluorine.

Process for producing hydrocarbon fluoride

A process for producing a hydrocarbon fluoride at a high selectivity with minimum formation of by-products is disclosed, which comprises reacting a hydrogen-containing hydrocarbon halide with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride in a liquid phase in the presence of a reaction product of (i) at least one of (a) an oxygen-containing compound selected from the group consisting of H2 O, H2 O2 and an oxygen-containing organic compound, and (b) a nitrogen-containing compound selected from the group consisting of NH3 and a nitrogen-containing organic compound, (ii) a tin compound selected from the group consisting of a stannic halide, a stannic oxyhalide and an organotin compound, and (iii) anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.
