Highly selective metal fluoride catalysts for the dehydrohalogenation of 3-chloro-1,1,1,3-tetrafluorobutane

For the first time, dehydrochlorination and dehydrofluorination reactions are studied on the same substrate, 3-chloro-1,1,1,3-tetrafluorobutane, employing nanoscopic metal fluorides AlF3, MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, and BaF2 as catalysts that are prepared according the fluorolytic sol-gel synthesis. AlF3 is exclusively selective toward dehydrofluorination, whereas BaF2 is 100% selective toward dehydrochlorination. The acid-base character of the catalysts is investigated and, as a result, mechanistic proposals for the dehydrofluorination and the dehydrochlorination are given. Thus, at high conversion level, selective catalysts for both dehydrofluorination and dehydrochlorination on the same substrate have been developed.

Method for producing 4,4,4- Trifluorobutane-2-One

The present invention provides a novel method for preparing 4,4,4-trifluorobutane-2-one by providing a fluorobutene selected from the group consisting of 2,4,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-butene, (E)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butene, (Z)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butene, and mixture thereof; and reacting the fluorobutene(s) with a proton acid and water.

PREPARATION OF HALOGEN AND HYDROGEN CONTAINING ALKENES OVER METAL FLUORIDE CATALYSTS

Halogenated alkenes, especially fluorinated alkenes can be prepared from halogenated and fluorinated alkanes, respectively, by dehydrohalogenation or dehydrofluorination in the presence of a high-surface metal fluoride or oxifluoride. Preferably, trifluoroethylene, pentafluoropropene, tetrafluorobutenes or trifluorobutadiene are prepared. Aluminium fluoride is highly suitable. The metal fluoride or oxifluoride can be applied supported on a carrier.

A METHOD FOR PRODUCING 4,4,4-TRIFLUOROBUTANE-2-ONE

The present invention provides a novel method for preparing 4,4,4-trifluorobutane-2-one by providing a fluorobutene selected from the group consisting of 2,4,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-butene, (E)- 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butene, (Z)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butene, and mixture thereof; and reacting the fluorobutene(s) with a proton acid and water.

FLUOROBUTENE DERIVATIVES AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SAME

The present invention provides novel compounds, 2, 4,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-butene and (E)- and (Z)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2 butenes. Furthermore, the present invention provides the following novel first and second processes for producing 2,4,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-butene, (E)- and (Z)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butenes, and 1,1,3-trifluorobutadiene. The first process is a process for producing 2,4,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-butene by heating 1,1,1,3,3-pentaflurobutane at from about 200°C to about 700°C. The second process is a process for producing (E)- and (Z)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butenes by bringing 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane with a base. By the first and second processes, it is possible to obtain respective target fluorobutenes with high selectivity. In third to fifth processes, 2,4,4,4-tetrafluoro-1-butene, (E)- and (Z)-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoro-2-butene, and 1,1,3,-trifluorobutadiene can be produced by heating 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane in the presence of a catalyst. This catalyst can be regenerated by the contact with a halogen-containing gas in sixth process.
