METHOD FOR PRODUCING 1,2,2,2-TETRAFLUORO-ETHYL DIFLUOROMETHYL ETHER (DESFLURANE)

Paragraph 0134; 0135, (2019/02/02)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-ethyl difluoromethyl ether (desflurane), which is useful as an inhalation anesthetic, on an industrial scale. SOLUTION: By reacting hydrogen fluoride and trimethyl orthoformate to an equivalent (hemiacetal) of fluoral synthesized by hydrogenation reaction of methyl trifluoroacetate in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst, it can easily be converted to 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-ethyl methyl ether which is a synthetic intermediate of desflurane. The resulting 1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-ethyl methyl ether can efficiently be derived to desflurane by chlorination followed by fluorination reaction. SELECTED DRAWING: None COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPOandINPIT
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A-FLUOROALDEHYDES

Paragraph 0059, (2014/06/24)
A production process of an α-fluoroaldehyde according to the present invention includes reaction of an α-fluoroester with hydrogen gas (H2) in the presence of a ruthenium complex. It is possible in the present invention to allow relatively easy industrial production of the α-fluoroaldehyde and to directly obtain, as stable synthetic equivalents of the α-fluoroaldehyde, not only a hydrate (as obtained by conventional techniques) but also a hemiacetal that is easy to purify and is of high value in synthetic applications. The present invention provides solutions to all problems in the conventional techniques and establishes the significantly useful process for production of the α-fluoroaldehyde.

Fluoroform (CF3H), a large-volume by-product of the manufacture of Teflon, refrigerants, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), fire-extinguishing agents, and foams, is a potent and stable greenhouse gas that has found little practical use despite the growing importance of trifluoromethyl (CF3) functionality in more structurally elaborate pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. Direct nucleophilic trifluoromethylation using CF3H has been a challenge. Here, we report on a direct trifluoromethylation protocol using close to stoichiometric amounts of CF3H in common organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethyl ether, and toluene. The methodology is widely applicable to a variety of silicon, boron, and sulfur-based electrophiles, as well as carbon-based electrophiles.
