Abstract: Refrigerant blends of HFOs and HCs, having HFOs as the main component, provide better cooling capacity than incumbent HFOs and maintain low flammability. Refrigerant blends of HFOs and HCs, having HCs as the main component, allow for larger HC charge at reduced flammability. Such compositions include (i) at least one compound selected from HFO-1234ze(E), HFO-1234ze(Z), HFO-1336mzz(E), HFO-1336mzz(Z), HCFO-1233zd(E), HCFO-1233zd(Z), CFO-1112, and combinations thereof, (ii) at least one other compound selected from HC-290, HC-1270, R-600, R-600a, R-601, R-601a, R-744, R-717, and combinations thereof, and optionally (iii) at least one other compound selected from HFC-134, HFC-134a, HFC-125, HFC-32, HFC-152a, and combinations thereof. These compositions are useful as refrigerants in air conditioning, heat pumps, refrigeration, and/or chillers.

Abstract: A method of producing a fluoroolefin includes contacting a compound of formula (1), RfCX1?CHCF3, with a fluorinated ethylene compound of formula (2), CX2X3?CX4X5 in the presence of a catalyst. In the compound of formula (1), Rf is a linear or branched C1-C10perfluorinated alkyl group and X1 is H, Br, Cl, or F. In the compound of formula (2), X2, X3, X4, and X5 are each independently H, Br, Cl, or F and at least three of X2, X3, X4, and X5 are 10 F. The resulting composition comprises a compound of formula (3), Rf(CF2)nCX6?CH(CF2)mCX7X8CFX9X10. In the compound of formula (3), X6, X7, X8, X9, and X10 are each independently H, Br, Cl, or F, and the total number of each of H, Br, Cl, and F corresponds to the total number of each of H, Br, Cl, and F provided by the compounds of formulae (1) and (2).
