Usage

General Description

1-Chloro-1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane, also known as HFC-225ca, is a halogenated hydrocarbon used as a refrigerant and solvent. It is a colorless, non-flammable gas with a faint odor and is commonly used in fire suppression systems, foam blowing agents, and as a precursor in the production of fluoropolymers. It has a high heat capacity and low toxicity, making it a suitable choice for various industrial applications. However, due to its high global warming potential, it is being phased out and replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives. Additionally, it is also known to contribute to ozone depletion, further highlighting the need for its replacement with more sustainable alternatives.

Method of dechlorinating organic compounds comprising vicinal chlorides

Provided is a method for selectively preparing 2-chloropentafluoropropene comprising catalytic dechlorination of 1,2,2-trichloro-1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane in the presence of hydrogen and a noble metal catalyst. Also provided is method for dechlorinating a vicinal chloride substituted organic compound using a palladium/barium sulfate catalyst.

PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 1,1,1,3,3,3-HEXAFLUOROPROPANE

A process for the preparation of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane is disclosed. The process involves (a) contacting at least one halopropane of the formula CF3CH2CHyX3-y (where each X is independently F, Cl or Br, and y is 3, 2, or 1) with Cl?2#191 in the presence of light or a free radical initiator to produce a mixture comprising CF3CH2CCIyX3-y; (b) contacting the CF3CH2CCIyX3-y produced in step (a) with HF, optionally in the presence of a fluorination catalyst, to produce a product mixture comprising CF3CH2CF3; and (c) recovering CF3CH2CF3 from the mixture produced in step (b).

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1,1,1,3,3-PENTAFLUOROPROPANE AND 1,1,1,2,3-PENTAFLUOROPROPANE

A process is disclosed for the manufacture of CF3CH2CHF2 and CF3CHFCH2F. The process involves (a) reacting hydrogen fluoride, chlorine, and at least one halopropene of the formula CX3CCl=CClX (where each X is independently F or Cl) to produce a product including both CF3CCl2CClF2 and CF3CClFCCl2F; (b) reacting CF3CCl2CClF2 and CF3CClFCCl2F produced in (a) with hydrogen to produce a product including both CF3CH2CHF2, and CF3CHFCH2F; and (c) recovering CF3CH2CHF2 and CF3CHFCH2F from the product produced in (b). In (a), the CF3CCl2CClF2 and CF3CClFCCl2F are produced in the presence of a chlorofluorination catalyst including a ZnCr2O4/crystalline α-chromium oxide composition, a ZnCr2O4/crystalline α-chromium oxide composition which has been treated with a fluorinating agent, a zinc halide/α-chromium oxide composition and/or a zinc halide/α-chromium oxide composition which has been treated with a fluorinating agent.
