Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

Pentafluorothio-difluoroamine reacts with ethylenic alkyl unsaturated lower aliphatic compounds to yield difluoroamino-pentafluorothioalkane addition products containing NF2 and SF5 groups. The reaction proceeds according to the following scheme:

Description

.
This invention relates to difluoroamino-pentafluorothioalkanes and to their process of preparation.
It has been found that pentafluorothio-difluoroam;ne, reacts with ethylenic alkyl unsaturated lower aliphatic compounds to yield an addition product conta;ning NF2 and SF5 groups. The reaction proceeds according to the following scheme:

R2\ /R3 R2\ /R3 Rl R4 Rl N

In this equation Rl, R2, R3 and R4 are radicals selected from the group oonsisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, nitro, halogen, nitrile, carbonyl and carbethoxy. Since the product contains both NF2 and SF5 groups, it is a high energy compound, suitable for use as a rocket fuel.
The reaction according to one aspect of the present invention takes place merely by heating the pentafluorothio-difluoroamine with the ethylenic alkyl unsaturated lower aliphatic compound. The temperature may vary from about 50 to about 250 C. Preferred temperature ranges are from 100-150 C.
The time o:i~ reaction ;s dependent upon the temperature, but usually varies from about 30 hours to about 5 minutes. Thereaction takes place under super-atmospheric pressure. Such pressures may conveniently range from about 1 to about 100 atmosphere.
The following Examples are given to illustrate embodiments of the :
present invention.
E~cam ple -Into an evacuated pressure vessel cooled in liquid nitrogen was distilled pentafluorothio-difluoroamine, F2N-SF5(7. Og, 0. 039 mole) followed by ethylene (3. Og., 0. 107 mole). The bomb was allowed to warm up to room temperature and heated at 75 C. for 30hours. The gases coming off from the pressure vessel were condensed in a liquid nitrogen cooled trap under vacuum. The gaseous fraction at room temperature was analyæed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to give SF4, SOF2, traces 9~

of NF2-SF5. The liquid remaining at room temperature W~8 found to be SOF2 (traces) and mainly difluoroamino-pentafluorothioethane, F2N-CH2-CH2-SF5, which had a retention time of 66.1 minutes at 95C. and was identified by mass spectrometry. Yield, 2,5g, b.p.~92C. The pressure vessel was opened and a liquid remained which was rnostly F2N-CH2-CH2-SF5. Yield, 5.5g. The total yield was ~.Og. or 98% from F2N-SF5. The heat of vaporization was determined to be 8820 calories per mole per degree Centigrade; the density to be 1.64, and the refractive index 1 . 3585 .
Difluoroamino-pentafluorothioethane is a colourless liquid, unstable in water, soluble in chloroform and organic solvents. It liber-ates io~ine from a sodium iodide solution. Its density is greater than 1Ø
The mass spectrogram consists of peaks assigned to NF, SF, SF, SF, SF4, SF5 and CH2NF, CHNF, CNF.
E~ample 2 In a similar manner, propylene was reacted with F2N-SF5 to yield CH3C~H-CH2-SF5 which was identified by chromatography and mass spectrometry, It is a liquid, b.p.~106 C. showing the same chemical property as the ethylene adduct. The yield was 95 per cent from F2N-SF5.
The heat of vaporization is 8990 calories per mole per degree Centigrade;
the density is 1.54, and the refractive index is 1.3580.
The process of synthesis of the difluoroamino-pentafluorothio-alkanes is most advantageously conducted, as hereinbefore specified, in a pressure vessel and can be conducted by passing the gases or vapours through a tubular reactor for a suitable residence time.
