Abstract

The present invention provides a process for preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.

Description

PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONIC
ACID
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a process for preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The halogenated compounds, such as fluoroalkanesulfonic acids, have wide applications as super acids mainly in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and fine chemical industries. The trifluoromethanesulfonic acid derivatives are also used as a component of lithium batteries, thus finds use in various electronic items.
The Russian Patent No. 2,135,463 patent provides a process for hydrolysis of trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride in an aqueous-alcoholic mixture at a temperature of 80°C to 120°C, followed by release of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid in the form of azeotrope with water. The azeotrope is treated with oleum, followed by distillation of an anhydrous trifluoromethanesulfonic acid mixture.
The U.S Patent No. 4,927,962 provides a method to obtain trifluoromethanesulfonic acid by interaction of trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. Further, in addition, the obtained potassium salt of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid requires purification from fluoride ion by treatment with silicon dioxide in sulfuric acid, followed by acid decomposition of selected salt with mixture of 98% H2S04 and 26% fuming H2S04. Thus, there is still need in the art for a simple, cost effective and commercially viable method for hydrolysis of trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride which avoids the prototype process, organic solvents such as alcoholic solvents, its multistage, the presence of solid and gaseous wastes and the exclusion of formation of salts and solid waste.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide process for the preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, comprising; a) treating trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride with water, b) isolating trifluoromethanesulfonic acid from reaction mixture of step a), wherein step a) is carried out at a temperature of about 60°C to about 110°C.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In an aspect, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, comprising; a) treating trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride with water, b) isolating trifluoromethanesulfonic acid from reaction mixture of step a), wherein step a) is carried out at a temperature of about 60°C to about 110°C.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, comprising: a) treating trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride with water , b) isolating trifluoromethanesulfonic acid from reaction mixture of step a), wherein step a) is carried out at a temperature of about 60°C to about 1 10°C.
The trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride may be prepared by any method known in the art, for example, by method known in U.S Patent No. 4,927,962.
The step a) may be carried out at a temperature of about 60°C to about 110°C, for example, about 75°C to about 100°C, for about 30 minutes to about 120 hours, for example for about 2 hour to about 95 hours. The trifluoromethanesulfonic acid may be isolated from step a) reaction mixture by layer separation, distillation, decantation and evaporation or mixture thereof. The trifluoromethanesulfonic acid may be further purified by any of the method known in the art.
The pressure during step a) of the reaction may be increased from about 1 bar to about 7 bar, for example, from about 2 bar to about 6 bar.
Preferably, the preparation of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid may be carried out in a continuous mode.
While the present invention has been described in terms of its specific embodiments, certain modifications and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art and are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
Preparation of Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid
Water (950 g) was taken in the re-boiler and water was circulated at the rate of 6LPH. The circulation rate was increased to 13 LPH. The temperature of column and the re- boiler was raised to 80°C. The trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride was added to the reaction vessel at a rate of 10 g/h. In all 91 1 g of trifluoromethylsulfonyl fluoride was added over a period of 90 hours. The trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, so obtained, was isolated from the reaction mixture.
Yield: 22%
