In the prior art, as a fluorinated compound having in combination carboxylic acid derivative groups and suifonic acid groups or groups convertible thereto in the same molecule such as said fluorinated carboxylic acid derivative groups, there is known only the compound FS02CF2COF or the compound
I'SO2CFCF0, 1 U1-3 as disclosed by U.S. Patent 3,301,893. There is no suggestion about a compound comprising a 25 fluorinated alkylene group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms 4-CF+2, between the carboxylic acid derivative groups and suffonic acid groups or the groups convertible thereto such as the compound according to the present invention.
The fluorinated carboxylic acid derivative according to the present invention can be prepared by converting the compound obtained by a process comprising the following step (A), (B) or (C) according 30 to the reaction scheme (3), (4), (5) or (6), optionally in combination with various reactions such as acid treatment, hydrolysis treatment or halogenation treatment, into carboxylic acid derivative and sulfonic acid derivative:

The group X may preferably be -SRI or _S02R1, especially X=-SRI being preferred. As the group RI, an alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an aryl, especially an alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms is preferred. Among them, an alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms is most preferred. A compound wherein Y is - COF is also desirable from standpoint of usefulness as starting material for synthesis of fluorinated vinyl compound.
When Y is another carboxylic acid derivative, such a compound maybe converted to a compound 10 having the group Y=-COF.
Each of the methods (A), (B) and (C) is hereinafter described in further detail.
1. Method (A) Examples of mercaptide to be used in the method (A) are derivatives of methyl mercaptan, ethyl mercaptan,propyl mercaptan, butyl mercaptan, amyi mercaptan, hexyl mercaptan, phenyl mercaptan, benzyl mercaptan, toiuyi mercaptan, perfluoromethyl mercaptan, perfluoroethyl mercaptan, perfluoropropyl mercaptan, etc. in the form of sodium salts, potassium salts, cesium salts, ammonium salts, and primary to quaternary alkylammonium salts, preferably an alkyl mercaptan, especially having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, namely methyl-, ethyl-, propyi-, butyl- and amyimercaptan in the form of sodium salts or potassium salts.
The carbonic acid ester may be exemplified by dimethyi-, diethyl-, dipropyi-, dibutyi-, diphenyi-, or methylethyl-ca rbon ate. Preferably, dimethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate may be used.
The mercaptide and the carbonic acid ester are usually mixed in an inert medium. But no inert medium is necessarily required when said ester is liquid under the reaction conditions. Typical examples of suitable inert medium are diethyl ether, tetra hydrofu ran, dioxane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, 25 diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, benzene and cyclohexane, having no active hydrogen and being capable of dissolving the carbonic acid ester.
The carbonic acid ester is used in an amount of 0.1 to 10 equivalents, preferably 0.5 to 5 equivalents, of the mercaptide.
Tetrafluoroethylene is usually employed in gaseous state and may be fed into the reaction system 30 under any desired pressure, irrespective of whether it may be pressurized, normal or reduced.
Tetrafluoroethylene may be added in an amount of 0.1 to 5 equivalents, preferably 0.4 to 3 equivalents of the mercaptide.
The reaction is carried out usually at not higher than 1 001C, preferably in the range from 80 to OOC, until the pressure of tetrafluoroethylene is substantially constant under the reaction conditions employed. Formation of ketone leads to substantial decrease in the reaction yield based on the mercaptide. For this reason, it is preferred to use a lower temperature in order to suppress formation of the ketone in the reaction scheme (3). The reaction is carried out under substantially anhydrous conditions.
After completion of the reaction, the reaction system is made acidic by adding an acid. In this 40 case, such a mineral acid as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid is usually used, sulfuric acid being preferred. The amount of a mineral acid should be at least equivalent of the mercaptide initially employed.
In the above reaction procedure, there may also be used in place of the carbonic acid ester a N,N- dialkyl formamide having 3 to 7 carbon atoms, whereby a fluorinated aldehyde is obtained. Alternatively, in some cases, there may also be employed carbonic acid gas in place of the carbonic acid este r.
Isolation of ester, ketone or aldehyde which is the fluorinated carboxylic acid derivative may be performed by conventional technique of separation such as phase separation, distillation or others. Said fluorinated carboxylic acid derivative of ester, ketone or aldehyde maybe converted to various carboxylic acid derivatives according to suitable organic reaction procedures. For example, ester and 9 3 GB 2 123 812 A 3 ketone may be hydrolyzed with an alkali to give a carboxylic acid salt, which carboxylic acid salt may in turn be treated with a mineral acid to give a carboxylic acid. Further, the above carboxylic acid or salt thereof may be reacted with a chlorinating agent such as phosphorus pentachloride, thionyl chloride, etc. to obtain an acid chloride, or alternatively with sulfur tetrafluoride to obtain an acid fluoride. Also, according to the well known reaction to treat an acid chloride with sodium fluoride or potassium fluoride, an acid fluoride can be prepared. An acid fluoride is most useful from standpoint of the starting material for synthesis of a fluorinated vinyl compound according to the reaction scheme (7) as shown below; (7) X (C F 2) n COF + (1) F 0- 1 1 CF-CF J\/ 2 0 CF 3 X(C172)n+10(CIFCF20) 1 t-1 CFCOF 1 1 (11) A CF3 ut- 3 > X(C17 2)n+l O(CFCIF 2 0) 11-1 C17=CI7 2 1 CIF 3 (111) wherein n and X are the same as defined above, and V is 1 or 2.
In the above fluorinated carboxylic acid derivative, the sulfide group present on the terminal end opposite to that of carboxylic acid derivative group may also be converted to various derivatives according to suitable organic reaction procedures. For example, it may be converted by treatment with chlorine to sulphenyl chloride group or sulfonyl chloride group, or by oxidation treatment to sulfone group. Furth " er, these groups maybe subjected to hydrolysis treatment with an alkali to be converted to 15 sulfonic acid group salts, which may be treated with phosphorus pentachloricle to be converted to sulfonyl chloride groups. Conversion to such various derivative groups does not interfere with the reaction according to the scheme (7), insofar as such groups have no active hydrogen.
IL Method (B) 20 The alkali metal cyanide to be used in the method (B) may include cyanides of lithium, sodium, 20 potassium, cesium, etc. Among them, cyanides of sodium and potassium may preferably be used. Examples of the compound of the formula A'2SO2 are sulfuryl fluoride, sulfuryl chloride, sulfuryl bromide, sulfuryl chlorofluoride, sulfuryl bromofluoride, dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, dibutyl sulfate, diamyl sulfate, and the like. In some cases, there may also be used sulfur dioxide. 25 The alkali metal cyanide is used usually as a dispersion in an inert medium. When the compound 25 A'2SO2 (A' is the same as defined above) is a liquid under the reaction conditions, no such inert medium is necessarily required to be used. As suitable inert medium, there may be mentioned solvents having no active hydrogen such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, cliethylene glycol dimethyl ether, benzene, cyclohexane, etc. Said inert medium may desirably be capable of dissolving A'2SO2. 30 The amount of A'2SO2'S used in an amount of 0.1 to 10 equivalents, preferably 0.5 to 5 equivalents of the alkali metal cyanide.
Depending on the A'2SO2 employed and the properties thereof, A'2SO2 is previously charged in the reaction system to be mixed with the alkali metal cyanide, or fed into the reaction system simultaneously with tetrafluoroethylene, or fed into the reaction system previously mixed with tetrafluoroethylene.
Te-trafluoroethylene is used usually under gaseous state and may be fed into the reaction system under any desired pressure, whether it may be pressurized, reduced or normal.
Tetrafluoroethylene is added in an amount of 0. 1 to 5 equivalents, preferably 0.4 to 3 equivalents of the alkali metal cyanide.
The reaction is carried out at not higher than 2500C, preferably at not higher than 1 001C, until the pressure of tetrafluoroethylene is substantially constant under the reaction conditions employed. The reaction is conducted under substantially anhydrous conditions.
Separation of fluorinated nitrile may be performed according to such procedures as phase separation or distillation. Similarly as described in the method (A), said fluorinated nitrile maybe 45 converted to various carboxylic acid derivatives or sulfonic acid derivatives according to suitable organic reaction procedures, whereby it is most preferred that Y should be -COR 4 GB 2 123 812 A I 11. Method (C) The compound represented by the formula Z'S02F or Z'3CS02F (Z' is the same as defined above) to be used in the method (C) may be exemplified by sulfuryl chlorofluoride, sulfuryl bromofluoride, trichloromethane sulfony1fluoride, tribromomethane sulfony1fluoride, and the like. Among them, sulfuryl, 5 chlorofluoricle and trichloromethane sulfonylfluoride are preferred.
As the free radical initiator, there may be employed most of those conventionally used in the field of organic chemical reactions. For example, it is possible to use organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, perfluoroacetyl peroxide, di-t-amyl peroxide, etc. and azo-bis type compounds such as azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisovaleronitrile, azobisnitrile, etc.
In the present invention, instead of permitting the free radical initiator to be present in the 10 reaction, ultra-violet rays may be irradiated. Alternatively, it is also possible to effect irradiation of ultraviolet rays in the presence of a free-radical initiator.
Use of a solvent is not particularly limited, but there may be employed any solvent which is stable chemically to the free radical initiator or uitra-violet ray. Particularly, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,215 trifluoroethane and cyclohexane may preferably be used.
Tetrafluoroethylene is used in at least stoichiometric amount relative to Z'S02F or Z'3CS02F.
The amount of the free radical initiator used is in the range from 0.001 % to 10% based on Z'S02F or Z'3CSO.F.
The reaction temperature may suitably be determined in view of the halflife period of the free radical initiator or other factors, usually ranging from -1 OOC to 2501C, preferably from OIC to 1 500C. 20 After completion of the reaction, the intermediates formed according to the reaction scheme (5) or (6) are isolated by phase separation or distillation from the reaction mixture, if desired. Said intermediates may be subjected to acid treatment using a mineral acid such as cone. sulfuric acid, sulfuric anhydride or fuming nitric acid to be converted to HOOC(CF2)3SO2F or HOOC(CF2)4SO2F.
The above carboxylic acid may be isolated from the reaction mixture by isolation procedure such as extraction, phase separation or distillation. Similarly as described in the method (A), said carboxylic acid may be converted to various carboxylic acid derivatives according to suitable organic chemical reaction procedures. It is particularly preferred that Y should be -COF. Among various sulfonic acid derivatives, sulfonylfluoride groups can be converted to sulfone and sulfide groups.
According to another preparation method, it is also possible to carry out reaction between a 30 disulfide and tetrafluorciethylene in the presence of a free radical initiator to give an intermediate having sulfide groups at both terminal ends of the molecule, which intermediate is then subjected to chlorine treatment to provide a compound having sulfide group at one terminal end and sulfonyl group at the other terminal end. By treatment of said compound with hydroicidic acid, there may also be prepared a compound having the sulfide group and the carboxylic acid group according to the present invention. 35 Alternatively, a compound having sulpheny1chloride group and sulphenyliodide group may be allowed to react with tetrafluoroethylene in the presence of a free radical initiator, followed by treatment of the resultant intermediate with an acid such as conc. sulfuric acid, sulfuric anhydride or fuming nitric acid, to provide the compound of the present invention having both sulfide group and carboxylic acid group.
The compound of the present invention, especially an acid fluoride is very useful for synthesis of a fluorinated vinyl ether compound having terminal groups convertible to sulfonic acid groups as shown in the reaction scheme (7). The above compound is also useful as starting materials for production of various materials such as surfactants, fiber treatment agents, lubricants, agricultural chemicals, etc.
The fluorinated carboxylic acid derivative of the present invention can also very advantageously be 45 produced, since there is used no such dangerous reaction as the addition reaction between tetrafluoroethylene and S03 which will occur in production of FS02CF2COF or no such toxic compound as a cyclic sultone intermediate.
The second aspect of the present invention is.to provide a novel fluorinated acid fluoride represented by the formula:
CF3 CF3 X'(CF2)n+l---OCFCF-2)-POCFCOF wherein X' is -SIR or S02 R (R is Cl-Cl. alkyl, Cl-C,, perfluoroalkyl, aryl or chlorine), n is an integer of 2 to 4, p is an integer of 0 to 50, by a process for producing said fluorinated acid fluoride compound which comprises reacting a novel compound represented by the formula:
MCF1COF 55 wherein X' and n are the same as defined above, with hexafluoropropyleneoxide, in the presence of a fluoride ion.
GB 2 123 812 A 5 As a fluorinated compound having in combination an acid fluoride group and a functional group convertible to suifonic acid group in the same molecule such as said fluorinated acid fluoride compound, there is known in the prior art only a fluorinated acid fluoride of the following formula:
CF3 CF3 1 1 FS02(CF,),,,-+OCFCF2+ 70CU- wherein P' = 2, q' = 0-50, as disclosed by Japanese published examined patent application No. 5 1664/1967. No such compound of the present invention wherein V' is 3 to 5 is suggested at all in the prior art.
The fluorinated acid fluoride of the present invention can be produced according to the following reaction scheme:
X'(CF 2) n COF + (p + 1)CF 3 CFCF 3 V 0 CF 3 CF 3 1 1 XI(CF 2) n+l (UUP-UI- 2) p UCt-cur- wherein X', n and p are the same as defined above.
The reaction between the compound of the formula X(UJ,,COF (wherein X' and n are the same as defined above) and hexapropylene oxide may preferably be conducted in the presence of a fluoride ion as catalyst. This can easily be done by use of a suitable fluoride, including alkali metal fluorides such as cesium fluoride, potassium fluoride, etc.; silver fluoride; ammonium fluoride; Cl-C4 tetraalkyl 15 ammonium fluoride such as tetramethyl ammonium fluoride, tetraethyl ammonium fluoride and tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride; and so on. The fluoride catalyst is usually used together with an inert liquid diluent, preferably an organic liquid, which can dissolve at least 0.001 % of the fluoride selected. The fluoride catalyst may be used in 20 an amount of about 0.01 to about 2 mole equivalent per one mole of the compound represented by the 20 formula X'WFICOF wherein X' and n are the same as defined above. Examples of suitable diluents are polyethers such as ethyleneglycol dimethylether, diethyleneglycol dimethylether,. tetraethyleneglycoI dimethylether, etc. and nitriles such as acetonitrile, propionitrile, etc. The reaction is slightly exothermic and therefore there should be provided a means for dissipating the reaction heat. 25 The reaction temperature may be in the range from about -501C to about 2001C, preferably from about -20'C to about 1 500C.
