  • Patent number: 5264629
    Abstract: A process for preparing fluorinated compounds belonging to the classes:XH--Y--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --(CF.sub.2).sub.n F (I)andYH--X--(CF.sub.2).sub.n --CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 F (II)wherein:X is NR.sub.x, O, S, CFR.sub.x, C(R.sub.x).sub.2, or CF.sub.2 ;Y is NR.sub.x, O, S, CFR.sub.x, C(R.sub.x).sub.2, or CF.sub.2 ;X is different from Y;R.sub.x is a perhalogenated alkyl group, containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms;n is either 0 or 1;Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2, which may be either equal to, or different from, each other, represent F, Cl, Br, H or R.sub.x.The process is characterized in that a fluorinated cyclic compound of the formula: ##STR1## is reacted, at a temperature within the range of from -80.degree. to +300.degree., with HF in the presence of a Lewis acid. Some of the so-obtained compounds per se are novel.

  • Patent number: 5118844
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel fluorinated alkoxyimines having the formula:R.sub.x --CF.dbd.N--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --CF.sub.3 (I)wherein:R.sub.x is either F or a perhalogenated alkyl group containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, andZ.sub.1 and Z.sub.2, either equal to, or different from, each other, are F, Cl, Br, H or a perfluorinated alkyl group containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.They are prepared by reacting a fluorinated alkoxyamine haivng the formula:R.sub.x --CF.sub.2 --NH--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --CF.sub.3 (V)with KF at a temperature comprised within the range of from 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.The present invention relates furthermore to the N-chloro- and N-bromo-derivatives of said fluorinated alkoxyimines (I), which derivatives have the formulae:R.sub.x --CF.sub.2 --NCl--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 CF.sub.3 (VII)andR.sub.x --CF.sub.2 --NBr--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --CF.sub.3 (VIII).

  • Patent number: 5081299
    Abstract: Novel fluorinated alkoxy imines having the formula:R.sub.x --CF.dbd.N--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --CF.sub.3 (I)wherein:R.sub.x is either F or a perhalogenated alkyl group containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, andZ.sub.1 and Z.sub.2, either equal to, or different from, each other, are F, C1, Br, H or a perfluorinated alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms. They are prepared by reacting a fluorinated alkoxy-amine having the formula:R.sub.x --CF.sub.2 --NH--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --CF.sub.3 (V)with Kf at a temperature within the range of from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. Furthermore, N-chloro- and N-bromo-derivatives of said fluorinated alkoxy-imines (I) are provided, which derivatives have the formulae:R.sub.x --CF.sub.2 --NCl--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --CF.sub.3 (VII)andR.sub.x --CF.sub.2 --NBr--O--CZ.sub.1 Z.sub.2 --CF.sub.
