Abstract

A method of producing FDNE using readily available fluoroolefins as a fluorine source.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to a low cost method of making fluorodinitroethanol (FDNE) which is used as a plasticizer and binder in propellants and explosives.
2. Description of Prior Art
Two methods have been used previously for manufacturing fluorodinitroethanol and both have significant difficulties. One was based on the fluorination of nitroform and the other on the fluorination of 2,2-dinitropropanediol (A-diol). Nitroform was available at low cost from Sweden until the supply was curtailed by a plant explosion in the 1970's. Environmental and safety problems still inhibit resumption of the large-scale production of nitroform. In the alternate process, A-diol was deformylated with base and the salt fluorinated. This aqueous fluorination process was complicated by the formation of large amounts of insoluble sodium fluoride, the expense of the A-diol and difficulty in purifying the product. Both of these processes require elemental fluorine, with attendant high plant capital costs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the new process, readily available fluoroolefins are used as the fluorine source for FDNE. Nitration of 1,2-dichlorodifluoroethylene gives chlorofluoronitroacetic acid, and reaction of the latter with red fuming nitric acid gives chlorofluoronitronitrosomethane. Oxidation of chlorofluoronitronitrosomethane gives chlorofluorodinitromethane (CFDNM), and CFDNM is reduced in the presence of formaldehyde to give FDNE. These reactions are summarized below and the preliminary yields are given in Table I.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1,2-dichlorodifluoroethylene can be purchased commercially or can be prepared in 80% yield from commercially available 1,2-difluorotetrachloroethane by zinc mediated reduction, as taught by E. G. Locke, et al., J. Am. Chem. Society 1934, 56, 1726. The olefin from these sources was found to be an equal mixture of cis and trans isomers of 1,2-difluorotetrachloroethane, contaiminated by 10% of 1,1-difluorodichloroethylene. The source of the unsymmetrical isomer was found to be a 10% impurity of 1,1-difluorotetrachloroethane in the 1,2-difluorotetrachloroethane used as the starting material.
The results of the nitration reaction of the 1,2-dichlorodifluoroethylene with various solutions is shown in Table II below. A first solution of 99% nitric acid and 95% sulfuric acid yielded 34% chlorofluoronitroacetic acid.
The yield of chlorofluoronitroacetic acid in the nitration reaction was increased to 44% by replacing sulfuric acid with oleum. When a mixture of oleum, nitric acid and trifluoracetic acid was reacted with 1,2-dichlorodifluoroethylene, chlorofluoronitroacetic acid was obtained in 63% yield along with 14% of the 1,2-addition product, 1,2-dichloro-1,2-difluoro-2-nitroethyl trifluoroacetate, bringing the total yield of the nitration reaction to 77%. Apparently the 1,2-addition product was formed first and then was hydrolyzed in situ, to give the acetic acid derivative. The lower boiling point and diminished water sensitivity of the 1,2-addition product makes it a potentially attractive alternative to chlorofluoronitroacetic acid in subsequent nitration reactions.

The chlorofluoronitritroacetic is next reacted with fuming nitric acid. When the reaction takes place at 80° C. in 90% nitric acid containing 20% N2 O4, chlorofluornitronitrosomethane is isolated in 51% yield as an intensely blue liquid by distillation. This intermediate is stable for several days at ambient temperature, but is generally used directly in the next step without further isolation or purification.
Oxidation of chlorofluoronitronitrosomethane with 30% hydrogen peroxide in nitric acid at ambient temperature gave chlorofluorodinitromethane in 62% isolated yield. The reaction was 90% complete after 15 minutes as shown in Table III.

Chlorofluorodinitromethane can also be prepared by the direct aqueous fluorination of potassium chlorodinitromethane or by the reaction of chlorofluoronitroacetic acid with xenon difluoride.
FDNE has been prepared by reduction of fluorotrinitromethane with sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of formaldehyde. Attempted reduction of CFDNM under these conditions resulted in substantial hydrolysis to fluoride ion and the formation of small amounts of chlorofluoronitroethanol. Only trace amounts of FDNE were produced in aqueous or aqueous alcohol solvents, However, yields of FDNE as high as 71% were realized when KI was used as the reducing agent. Results using a 30% aqueous ethanolic solution of CFDNM (1 eq), KI (2.3 eq) and 30% formaldehyde solution (1.3 eq) at 70° C. are summarized in the Table IV. Formation of both FDNE and chlorofluoronitroethanol (CFNE) was observed with the maximum amount of FDNE observed at 1 h reaction time.

The effect of reaction variables on the yield of the reductive dehalogenation of CFDNM are summarized in Table V, where 19 F NMR is atomic weight 19 floride nuclear magnetic resonance. The reaction with KI was found to be slow at room temperature (RT), with less than 10% of the CFDNM reduced after 3 hours. Reactions conducted at 40° to 75° C. for short periods and then for several days as room temperature gave the best results. When the reaction temperature exceeded 75° C., no FDNE was formed and complete hydrolysis to fluoride ion occurred.

Small amounts of chlorofluoronitroethanol (CFNE) were observed as a byproduct in most of the KI reductions. The boiling point of CFNE (40° C./0.4 mm) is closed to that of FDNE (41° C./0.1 mm) and these materials could not be separated readily by distillation. Pure chlorofluoronitroethanol was prepared for use as a reference standard by chlorination of 2-fluoro-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol in 45% yield. CFNE was also prepared in small yield by decarboxylation of chlorofluoronitroacetic acid in aqueous formaldehyde.
Reactions of CFDNM with various "soft" nucleophiles and reducing agents are summarized in Table VI below. The best results were obtained with sodium sulfide and sodium thiosulfate. However, sodium sulfide also reacted with formaldehyde to give insoluble trithiane. At room temperature, even after 16 h, these reactions were not complete. The reaction mixture containing sodium thiosulfate gave two phases after it was heated at 70° C. for 10 h. The aqueous phase showed only FDNE and the organic phase showed several unidentified products in addition to FDNE.
