Abstract

Abstract 1-Fluoro-1,1,2-trichloroethane is produced by a process which comprises the reaction of trichloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride using about 1.5 to 3.5 moles of hydrogen fluoride per mole of trichloroethylene, and conducting the reaction in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of CF 3 SO 3 H, TiCl 4 , MoCl 5 , WF 6 , NbCl 5 and SnCl 4 at a temperature in the range of 50° to 150° C. with a residence time of one quarter hour to five hours. The resulting product is relatively pure of overfluorinated by-products so as to be useful as a degreasing solvent.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 58 words
A method for the production of 1-fluoro-1,1,2-trichloroethane which comprises reacting trichloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride using about 1.5 to 3.5 moles of hydrogen fluoride per mole of trichloroethylene, and conducting the reaction in the presence of tungsten hexafluoride at a temperature range of about 50° to 150° C. for a residence time of about one-fourth hour to five hours.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 58 words
A method for the production of 1-fluoro-1,1,2-trichloroethane which comprises reacting trichloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride using about 1.5 to 3.5 moles of hydrogen fluoride per mole of trichloroethylene, and conducting the reaction in the presence of tungsten hexafluoride at a temperature range of about 50° to 150° C. for a residence time of about one-fourth hour to five hours.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein about 2.0 to 3.0 moles of hydrogen fluoride are used per mole of trichloroethylene.
