Definitions

  • U.S. Patent 2,519,983, issued to Simons discloses the electrochemical fluorination of organic materials with anhydrous hydrofluoric acid.
  • US. Patent 2,732,398, issued to Brice and Trott discloses the use of the process of Simons to convert hydrocarbon sulfonyl halides into perfluoroalkylsulfonyl fluorides.
  • compositions which are made by the reaction of the appropriate alpha-omega-diolefin (e.g. butadiene) with S0
  • alpha-omega-diolefin e.g. butadiene
  • S0 alpha-omega-diolefin
  • the major advantage of the process of this invention is its relatively high yield of product, which renders it commercially desirable.
  • the process is also unique in that the electrochemical fluorination process has never before been found to cause ring cleavage at a carbonsulfur linkage to form a perfluoroalkylsulfonyl fluoride.
  • the conductivity of the alkylene sulfone-hydrogen fluoride solution is usually adequate to permit electrolysis at a sufliciently low voltage to prevent the evolution of elemental fluorine, which begins to form when about 10 to 12 volts are applied to a cell anode.
  • conductivity additives such as sodium or potassium fluoride can be added, if desired.
  • voltages of from 4 to 8 volts generally give the best results.
  • the cathodes and anodes can be made of any conductive material which is not corroded by anhydrous HF, e.g., nickel, Monel, carbon, silicon carbide, etc.
  • the cell was cooled to l0 C., and anhydrous HF vapor was added until about 3500 ml. of liquid HF were present in the cell.
  • To this was added 1242.5 g. of tetramethylene sulfone, and the cell was operated for 5 days at about 0 C. with a direct current of about amperes and 5.5 volts.
  • EXAMPLE 2 When an electrochemical cell, fitted with a graphite anode and cathode and the same condenser as in Example l is filled with 1 kg. of octamethylene sulfone and 2 kg. of liquid HF, electrolysis for several days at 10 C. at a voltage of 7 volts produces a liberal yield of nperfluorooctylsulfonyl fluoride.
  • Electrolysis was initiated at 10 C., and an average current of 85 amperes and 5.5 volts was maintained for 48 hours with an average temperature of C. At the end of the period, the current began to decrease. When it had fallen to 15 amperes, the electrolysis was discontinued, and 532.4 g. of a water-white crude cell product was drained from the bottom of the cell.
