Abstract: Production of HFO-1132 and, in particular, HFO-1132E, may be produced from 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113). In a first step, 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143) is produced by hydrogenating 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113) by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to produce 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143). The 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143) may then be dehydrofluorinated in the presence of a catalyst to produce trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132E) and/or cis-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132Z). The cis-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132Z) may then be isomerized to produce trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132E).

Abstract: The fluoroether 3-(difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane (“HFE-347mcf”) may be used as a refrigerant and/or heat transfer composition, such as in single phase and two phase cooling systems, and a method of heating and/or cooling an electronic component or device includes providing a heat transfer fluid comprising at least about 10% by weight of 3-(difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane, and transferring heat between the electronic component and the heat transfer fluid. The fluoroether 3-(difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane may be synthesized by reacting 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-1-propanol with chlorodifluoromethane (R-22).
