Method for producing fluorinated organic compounds
View Patent ↗A method for preparing fluorinated organic compounds wherein at least one fluorinated olefin is reacted with methyl fluoride in the gas-phase and in the presence of a Lewis Acid catalyst to form at least one product having at least 3 carbon atoms.
1. A method of preparing fluorinated organic compounds comprising reacting methyl fluoride with at least one fluorinated olefin having the structure:
wherein R is F, Cl, C 1 -C 2 fluorinated alkyl, or two-carbon fluorinated alkenyl,
to produce at least one product having at least 3 carbon atoms, wherein said reaction occurs in the gas-phase and in the presence of a Lewis Acid catalyst, wherein said product includes a fluorocarbon polymer.
2. A method of preparing fluorinated organic compounds comprising reacting methyl fluoride with at least one fluorinated olefin having the structure:
wherein R is F, Cl, C 1 -C 2 fluorinated alkyl, or two-carbon fluorinated alkenyl,
to produce at least one product having at least 3 carbon atoms, wherein said reaction occurs in the gas-phase and in the presence of a Lewis Acid catalyst, wherein said product includes 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1 -propene.
3. A method of preparing fluorinated organic compounds comprising reacting methyl fluoride with at least one fluorinated olefin having the structure
wherein R is F, Cl, C 1 -C 2 fluorinated alkyl, or two-carbon fluorinated alkenyl, to produce at least one product having at least 3 carbon atoms, wherein said reaction occurs in the gas-phase and in the presence of a Lewis Acid catalyst, wherein said Lewis Acid catalyst is impregnated on activated carbon.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein said activated carbon is essentially anhydrous.
