Background
Perfluoro-n-propyl vinyl ether is a comonomer containing fluorine vinyl ether and can participate in polymerization as a copolymerization or modification monomer to change certain properties of the fluoropolymer, such as: low temperature resistance, solvent resistance, toughness, tearing resistance, bonding property with a base material and the like, does not change the original corrosion resistance and aging resistance of the polymer, and has wide application.
At present, the synthesis method of perfluoro-n-propyl vinyl ether mainly comprises the following steps: direct pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis, fluorine-containing block method, reduction method, and the like. Wherein, the direct pyrolysis method has simple operation and high yield, is suitable for industrialized production and is a common method for preparation. The direct pyrolysis method generally uses hexafluoropropylene oxide as a raw material, and carries out self-polymerization to generate an acyl fluoride intermediate, and the structure of the vinyl ether is obtained through hydrolysis and salt formation of a metal salt compound, thermal cracking and decarboxylation and the metal fluoride (for example, the method disclosed in Chinese patent ZL 200910229204.1). Wherein, the decarboxylation is a key step of the whole process. Although there are many reports on the decarboxylation method of fluorinated vinyl ether at present, the used catalyst has many disadvantages, for example, the above-mentioned chinese patent ZL200910229204.1 uses silver fluoride catalyst in the decarboxylation process, which is corrosive and toxic, and is not good for safe production; and as the organic amine catalyst is used in Chinese patent ZL200710160650.2 of Zhonghao Chen photochemical research institute, the organic amine catalyst cannot be recycled, and the organic amine catalyst has great influence on the environment. Moreover, the raw material hexafluoropropylene oxide used is expensive, which results in higher production cost.
Therefore, the method for further exploring and researching the synthetic method of the perfluoro-n-propyl vinyl ether, which has the advantages of simple and stable process, less by-products and environmental friendliness, has important significance.
