Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to processes for converting acrylate esters or a derivative thereof to difluoropropionic acid or a derivative thereof. This process is generally performed using fluorine gas in a hydrofluorocarbon solvent.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing fluoromethane and 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)propanoyl fluoride ((CF3)2CHCOF), which are useful as dry etching gases etc., safely and inexpensively with high purity.According to the method in which 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-trifluoromethylpropyl methyl ether is pyrolyzed in a gas phase in the presence of a catalyst, the desired fluoromethane and 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)propanoyl fluoride can be obtained with high selectivity and high conversion of the starting material by a simple process in which a pyrolysis reaction is performed in a gas phase using the inexpensive starting material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a halogenoacetyl fluoride and the derivatives thereof. The inventive method for preparing a halogenoacetyl fluoride acid is characterized in that said method includes: a step of preparing a halogenoacetyl halide by photo-oxidation of a halogenoethylene compound in conditions such that the transformation rate of the halogenoethylene compound into halogenoacetyl halide is no higher than 80%, producing a reaction mixture essentially including halogenoacetyl halide and the excess halogenoethylene compound; a step of partial fluorination of the mixture obtained by reacting the latter with hydrofluoric acid suitable for obtaining a mixture of halogenoacetyl fluoride and the excess halogenoethylene compound; a step of separating the halogenoacetyl fluoride and the excess halogenoethylene compound. The invention can be used, specifically, for preparing the trichloroacetyl fluoride used as an intermediate species in the production of trifluoroacetic acid.
Abstract:
Process for the purification of carbonyl chlorides which have been prepared by reacting carboxylic acids with phosgene or thionyl chloride in the presence of a catalyst adduct, in which the carbonyl chlorides are treated with a hydrohalide of carboxamides of the formula (I) in which R1 is hydrogen or C1- to C3-alkyl; R2 and R3 independently of one another are C1- to C4-alkyl, or R2 and R3 together are a C4- or C5-alkylene chain, and the carbonyl chloride purified in this way is isolated by separation off from the carboxamide hydrohalide phase.
Abstract:
The novel process of the invention comprises selectively chlorinating benzoyl chloride in the absence of a solvent to about 7-8% unconverted benzoyl chloride, and recovering the resultant 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride in high yield from the reaction product mixture. A feature of the process is that the ratio of 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride to 2,5-dichlorobenzoyl chloride by-product is maximized.
Abstract:
Various processes for preparing aldaric acids, aldonic acids, uronic acids, and/or lactone(s) thereof are described. For example, processes for preparing a C5-C6 aldaric acid and/or lactone(s) thereof by the catalytic oxidation of a C5-C6 aldonic acid and/or lactone(s) thereof and/or a C5-C6 aldose are described.
