  • Process for catalytic hydrodefluorodimerization of fluoroölefins
    Patent number: 10882802
    Abstract: The present application provides a hydrodefluorodimerization process, which is useful in the synthesis of, for example, fluoroolefins that can be used as refrigerants, blowers and the like. The process is an “early-stage fluorination” process, wherein precursors containing fluorine are assembled into the desired product using a zerovalent nickel catalyst. Also provided is a liquid composition comprising one or more fluoroolefin produced by this catalytic process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2021
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA
    Inventors: Ralph Thomas Baker, Alexandre James Sicard
