Abstract

Abstract A fluorinated sulphobetaine compound of the general formula <IMAGE> wherein RF represents a straight-chained or branched perfluorinated aliphatic chain CnF2n+1 (n being an integer between 1 and 20), a is an integer between 0 and 10, X is CO or SO2, p is an integer between 0 and 10, R1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 are each alkyl radicals containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and Z is a bivalent organic group; and fire extinguishing compositions comprising such fluorinated sulphobetaine compounds.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 129 words
A linear fluorinated sulphobetaine compound having the formula: ##STR38## wherein R F is a straight-chained or branched aliphatic perfluorinated chain C n F 2n+1 , n being an integer from 1 to 20, a is an integer from 0 to 10, X is a CO or SO 2 radical, p is an integer from 0 to 10, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R 2 and R 3 are each alkyl radicals containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and Z is a lower alkylene radical having the formula (CH 2 ) q wherein q is an integer from 1 to 10 or a polymethylene radical substituted either by an alkyl group or by the functional group OH or COOH.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 129 words
A linear fluorinated sulphobetaine compound having the formula: ##STR38## wherein R F is a straight-chained or branched aliphatic perfluorinated chain C n F 2n+1 , n being an integer from 1 to 20, a is an integer from 0 to 10, X is a CO or SO 2 radical, p is an integer from 0 to 10, R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R 2 and R 3 are each alkyl radicals containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and Z is a lower alkylene radical having the formula (CH 2 ) q wherein q is an integer from 1 to 10 or a polymethylene radical substituted either by an alkyl group or by the functional group OH or COOH.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
The compound of claims 1 or 2, wherein Z is selected from a lower alkylene radical having the formula --(CH 2 ) q -- wherein q is an integer from 1 to 3.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 44 words
A fluorinated sulphobetaine compound having the formula: ##STR39## wherein R 1 is selected from a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical and Z is selected from --CH 2 --CH 2 --, --CH 2 --CH 2 --CH 2 --, or --CH 2 --CH(OH)--CH 2 --.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 44 words
A fluorinated sulphobetaine compound having the formula: ##STR39## wherein R 1 is selected from a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical and Z is selected from --CH 2 --CH 2 --, --CH 2 --CH 2 --CH 2 --, or --CH 2 --CH(OH)--CH 2 --.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
