Processes for the manufacture of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropene, 2-chloro-pentafluoropropene and compositions comprising saturated derivatives thereof

摘要

Disclosed are azeotropic compositions comprising CF3CHFCF3 and HF. Also disclosed are compositions and a process for producing compositions comprising (c1) CF3CHFCF3, CF3CH2CF3, or CHF2CH2CF3, and (c2) at least one saturated halogenated hydrocarbon and or ether having the formula: CnH2n+2-a-bClaFbOc wherein n is an integer from 1-4, a is an integer from 0-2n+1, b is an integer from 1-2n+2a, and c is 0 or 1, provided that when c is 1 then n is an integer from 2-4, and provided that component (c2) does not include the selected component (c1) compound, wherein the molar ratio of component (c2) to component (c1) is between about 1:99 and a molar ratio of HF to component (c1) in an azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition of component (c1) with HF. The process involves (A) combining (1) the azeotropic composition with (ii) the fluorination precursor to component (c2); and (B) reacting a sufficient amount of the HF from the azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition (1) with the precursor component (ii) to provide a composition containing components (c1) and (c2) in the desired ratio. The compositions include at least two (c1) compounds, at least one of which is an ether.
