Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject compound useful as a promising substitute for CFC-12 refrigerant in high efficiency by reacting 1, 1, 1-trifluoroethane with bromine at a high temperature for a prescribed period to selectively obtain a monobrominated product and reacting the product with hydrogen fluoride. CONSTITUTION:The objective 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane can be produced by contacting 1, 1, 1-trifluoroethane with bromine at a high temperature (550-800 deg.C) for 0.5-10 sec and reacting the resultant 1-bromo-2,2,2-trifluoroethane with hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen bromide generated by the reaction of the above two stages can be easily converted to bromine by reacting with chlorine and the obtained bromine is recycled to the 1st stage reaction. The subject compound can be easily produced by this process in high efficiency and yield.

11.1.2 Problems with ゛ and 11.1.2 that have been proposed in the past and have potential for practical use
-Methods for producing tetrafluoroethane can be generally classified into the following two basic types: (i) A method of reducing 1,1-dichloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane with hydrogen. , and (b) a method of reacting 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane with hydrogen fluoride.

The method of type (a) above uses palladium, rhenium,
The reaction is carried out in the presence of a reduction catalyst such as platinum at a temperature in the range of approximately 100 to 500 degrees Celsius, but even more than the target product 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. There is a serious drawback that 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, which has been reduced, is likely to be produced as a by-product, and the conversion rate must be kept essentially low in order to suppress this by-product.

Furthermore, since hydrogen chloride is inevitably produced as a by-product in the reaction (a) above, the catalyst is required to have acid resistance.

For this reason, various studies have been made regarding the catalysts to be used (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Nos. 1-319437319438 and 319439), but the situation is still not satisfactory.

Further, in the method of the above-mentioned known type (b), the reaction is carried out in the presence of an inorganic chromium compound at a temperature in the range of about 300 to 500°C (for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
5-27138), which also has the drawbacks of low conversion and short catalyst life. Therefore, attempts have been made to carry out the reaction in the presence of a trace amount of oxygen (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-27139), but these have not yet fully overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks. Further above (
In the method of type b), there are also problems with raw materials.

That is, the 1-chloro-2,2,2 used in this method
-Trifluoroethane can be obtained by chlorinating 1.1°1-trifluoroethane, but since the reaction proceeds sequentially, only 1-chloro-222-1-trifluoroethane can be obtained in high yield. It is difficult to obtain, and there is also the problem that 1,1-dichloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,24-trifluoroethane are produced as by-products.

We made the very interesting discovery that bromo-2,2,2-trifluoroethane is selectively produced. When the reaction temperature exceeds 800° C., however, thermal decomposition reactions begin to occur and the yield of the desired monobrominated product begins to decrease. Therefore, the reaction of 1,1.1-)-lifluoroethane and bromine in the present invention is preferably carried out at a temperature within the range of 550 to 800°C. Regarding the contact time of this reaction, if it is less than 0.5 seconds, unreacted bromine will remain in the product (i.e., the reaction will not proceed sufficiently).
This is not preferred, and if the time exceeds 10 seconds, thermal decomposition begins to occur, which is not preferred. Therefore, the contact time is 0.5-10
Preferably, it is within seconds.
