Abstract: The present invention provides processes for the production of HCFO-1233zd, 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, from the starting material, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233xf). In a first process, HCFO-1233zd is produced by the isomerization of HCFO-1233xf. In a second process, HCFO-1233zd is produced in a two-step procedure which includes (i) dehydrochlorination of HCFO-1233xf into trifluoropropyne; and (ii) hydrochlorination of the trifluoropropyne into HCFO-1233zd.
Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a tetrafluoro nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound such as tetrafluoropyrrolidine in good yield and at low cost. The method comprises the steps of: (A) reacting a compound represented by the formula (I) with fluorine gas to produce a tetrafluoro compound represented by the formula (II), (B) converting the tetrafluoro derivative represented by the formula (II) to a compound represented by the formula (III), and (C) reacting the compound represented by the formula (III) with an amine compound represented by the formula NH2R9 to produce a tetrafluoro nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound represented by the formula (IV) or salt thereof.
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for functionalizing a double bond and, more particularly, a double bond bearing a metalloid atom. Said functionalization is produced by the action of perhalogenated sulphonyl chloride on the carbon bearing sulphur in the presence of a free radical initiator, preferably by homolytic cleavage. The invention is useful in organic synthesis.
Abstract: 2-Chloro-1-propene is prepared by catalytic hydrochlorination of methylacetylene and/or of propadiene in a liquid medium containing at least one catalyst chosen from compounds of the metals from group VIIIa and from the lanthanides, and at least one organic solvent capable of dissolving the catalyst.
Abstract: The invention is a process for preparing a 2-halo-1-alkene comprising contacting a hydrocarbon stream with a hydrogen halide, in the presence of water and an effective amount of a catalyst, at a temperature between about 100.degree. C. and about 400.degree. C., wherein; the hydrocarbon stream comprises a 1,2-diene, a terminal acetylene or mixtures thereof, represented by the formulas CH.sub.2 .dbd.C.dbd.CH--R or CH.tbd.C--CH.sub.2 --R wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl and may be substituted or unsubstituted; the water is present in an amount of between about 1,000 and 100,000 parts per million by weight; and the catalyst comprises carbon, silica alumina, aluminosilicates, silica gel, silica, silica magnesia, silicalite, group IIIA, IIIB, IVA, IVB or V metal oxides or rare earth oxides.
