Uses

Used in Fire Protection Industry:
1,2-Dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoro-4-iodobutane is used as a fire extinguishing agent for its ability to interrupt the chemical chain reaction of a fire, reduce the concentration of oxygen, and remove heat from the fire. It is particularly effective in extinguishing fires involving flammable liquids, electrical equipment, and various types of plastics.
Used in Industrial and Commercial Settings:
Halotron 1301 is widely used in industrial and commercial settings due to its effectiveness, safety profile, and environmentally friendly nature. It is considered an alternative to other fire extinguishing agents, offering a more sustainable solution for fire protection.

Rearrangement of 3-membered 1,1,2-trifluorobromonium and iodonium ions and comparison of trifluorochloronium to fluorocarbenium ions

(Chemical Equation Presented) Reactions of chlorine (Cl2) with 4-halo-1,1,2-trifluorobut-1-enes (1, 2, or 3) give open-ion intermediates A and E that are in equilibrium. The open-chloronium ions (E) rearrange to a five-membered-ring halonium ion during ionic chlorination of 3 when the number-4 halo-substituent is iodine. Three-membered-ring bromonium and iodonium ions from alkenes 1, 2, or 3 are rather symmetrical and similar in structure. Quantum chemical calculations show that five-membered-ring halonium ion intermediates are 11 to 27 kcal/mol more stable than the three-membered-ring halonium ions or the open-ions A and E. The five-membered-ring intermediates lead to rearranged products. Rearranged products increase as the number-4 halogen (Z) becomes more nucleophilic (Z: Cl Br I). Open chloronium ions from ionic chlorination of terminal fluorovinyl alkenes are compared to the open ions generated by protons to similar alkenes.
