- Suitable halopropene starting materials of the formula CX 2 ⁇ CHCH 2 X include CCl 2 ⁇ CHCH 2 Cl (HCC-1240za).
- HCC-250fb is a readily available starting material that can be prepared by the reaction of ethylene with carbon tetrachloride as disclosed in International Patent Application No. WO 97/05089, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- HCC-250fb may be converted to HFC-1243zf by reaction with HF in vapor phase as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,329,559, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- HCC-1240za may be prepared by reaction of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane with ferric chloride as disclosed by Fujimori, et. al. in Japanese Kokai 49066613.
- the reaction may be carried out in the liquid or vapor phase.
- the reaction of starting materials with HF and Cl 2 may be conducted in a liquid-phase reactor operating in batch, semi-batch, semi-continuous, or continuous modes.
- starting materials, Cl 2 , and HF are combined in an autoclave or other suitable reaction vessel and heated to the desired temperature.
- this reaction is carried out in semi-batch mode by feeding Cl 2 to a liquid-phase reactor containing HF and starting materials or by feeding starting materials and Cl 2 to a liquid-phase reactor containing HF, or by feeding Cl 2 to a mixture containing HF and reaction products formed by initially heating starting materials and HF.
- HF and Cl 2 may be fed to a liquid-phase reactor containing a mixture of starting materials and reaction products formed by reacting HF, Cl 2 , and starting materials.
- HF, Cl 2 , and starting materials may be fed concurrently in the desired stoichiometric ratio to the reactor containing a mixture of HF and reaction products formed by reacting HF, Cl 2 , and starting materials.
- Suitable temperatures for the reaction of HF and Cl 2 with starting materials in the liquid-phase reactor are from about 80° C. to about 180° C., preferably from about 100° C. to about 150° C. Higher temperatures typically result in greater conversion of the starting materials.
- a suitable molar ratio of HF to total amount of starting materials fed to the liquid-phase reactor is at least stoichiometric and is typically from about 5:1 to about 100:1. Of note are embodiments wherein the molar ratio of HF to starting material is from about 8:1 to about 50:1.
- a suitable molar ratio of Cl 2 to total amount of starting materials fed to the liquid-phase reactor is from about 1:1 to about 2:1.
- the reactor pressure in the liquid-phase process is not critical and in batch reactions is usually the autogenous pressure of the system at the reaction temperature.
- the pressure of the system increases as hydrogen chloride is formed by replacement of hydrogen substituents by chlorine, and by replacement of chlorine substituents by fluorine in the starting materials and intermediate reaction products.
- the pressure of the reactor in such a way that the lower boiling products of the reaction, such as HCl, CF 3 CF ⁇ CH 2 , E/Z-CF 3 CH ⁇ CHF, and CF 3 CF 2 CH 3 , are vented from the reactor, optionally through a packed column or condenser. In this manner, higher boiling intermediates remain in the reactor and the volatile products are removed.
- Typical reactor pressures are from about 20 psig (239 kPa) to about 1,000 psig (6,994 kPa).
- the reaction of HF and Cl 2 with starting materials is carried out in the vapor phase.
- a heated reactor is used.
- a number of reactor configurations are possible including horizontal or vertical orientation of the reactor as well as the sequence of reaction of the starting materials with HF and Cl 2 .
- the starting materials may be initially vaporized and fed to the reactor as gases.
- starting materials may be contacted with HF, optionally in the presence of Cl 2 , in a pre-reactor prior to reaction in the vapor-phase reactor.
- the pre-reactor may be empty, but is preferably filled with a suitable packing such as MonelTM or HastelloyTM nickel alloy turnings or wool, or other material inert to HCl and HF which allows efficient mixing of starting materials and HF vapor.
- Suitable temperatures for the pre-reactor for this embodiment of the invention are from about 80° C. to about 250° C., preferably from about 100° C. to about 200° C. Temperatures greater than about 100° C. result in some conversion of the starting materials to compounds having a higher degree of fluorination. Higher temperatures result in greater conversion of the starting materials entering the reactor and a greater degree of fluorination in the converted compounds.
- a mixture of HF, Cl 2 , and HCC-250fb is converted to a mixture containing predominantly HFC-1243zf and HCFC-243db (CF 3 CHClCH 2 Cl) and a mixture of HF, Cl 2 , and HFC-1243zf is converted to a mixture containing predominantly HCFC-243db and HCFC-244db (CF 3 CHClCH 2 F).
- the degree of fluorination reflects the number of fluorine substituents that replace chlorine substituents in the starting materials and their chlorinated products.
- HCFC-253fb represents a higher degree of fluorination than HCC-250fb
- HFC-1243zf represents a higher degree of fluorination than HCC-1240zf.
- the molar ratio of HF to the total amount of starting material(s) in the pre-reactor is typically from about the stoichiometric ratio of HF to the total amount of starting material to about 50:1.
- the molar ratio of HF to the total amount of starting material in the pre-reactor is from about twice the stoichiometric ratio of HF to the total amount of starting material to about 30:1.
- the preferred molar ratio of HF to the total amount of starting materials is present in the pre-reactor, and no additional amount of HF is added to the vapor-phase reaction zone.
- the starting materials may be contacted with Cl 2 in a pre-reactor, optionally in the presence of HF, prior to reaction in the vapor-phase reactor.
- Suitable temperatures for the pre-reactor for this embodiment of the invention are from about 80° C. to about 250° C., preferably from about 100° C. to about 200° C.
