  • Patent number: 6878826
    Abstract: Tertiary perfluorocycloamines (TPFCAs) of general formula (1) where n=1 or 2, m=2 or 3, X is wherein at n=2 X is as the basis for gas transport emulsions. TPFCAs comprise a group of compounds which are close in their physicochemical properties to perfluoro-N-(4-methylcyclohexyl)-piperidine, particularly in the critical temperature of dissolution in hexane, and which are used in a mixture, forming a number of compounds with gradually varying characteristics. Owing to this, a greater homogeneity of the fluorocarbon phase is achievable in the emulsions and it becomes possible to enhance the stability of the emulsion particles stabilized by an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer, with the absence of toxicity for large animals. A mixture of TPFCAs is prepared by electrochemical fluorination of n-piperidinoheptafluorotoluene in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.
