Abstract
Abstract Pinene can be converted to perfluoro-p-menthane in high yield by first hydrogenating pinene to form pinane, and then perfluorinating the same with CoF 3 . Ring cleavage of the pinane to form p-menthane is achieved simultaneously with the perfluorination in a single step to obtain perfluoro-p-menthane, a valuable synthetic blood substitute material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
24 words
A process for the preparation of perfluoro-1-methyl-4-isopropylcyclohexane which comprises perfluorinating pinane by contacting it with CoF 3 at a temperature greater than 175° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process for the preparation of perfluoro-1-methyl-4-isopropylcyclohexane which comprises perfluorinating pinane by contacting it with CoF 3 at a temperature greater than 175° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the reaction is carried out in a multi-zone reactor in which the temperature is graduated from zone to zone across the reactor with the highest temperature at the outlet of said reactor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the pinane product is recycled through the reactor a second time at an overall temperature about 100° C. higher than that of the first pass.
