Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A process for the preparation of fluorinated products having the formula: R.sub.F --CHR.sub.1 --CHR.sub.2 --y in which (a) R F represents a straight or branched perfluorinated chain C n F 2n+1 , with n being a whole number between 1 and 20; (b) y is selected from the hydroxy, carboxy, nitrile, halogen, ##STR9## thiol, thiocyanate, carbethoxy, acetoxy, CONH 2 , hydroxymethyl and acetoxymethyl groups; and (c) R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are y, a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, or alkylphenyl radical; consisting essentially of reacting a perfluoroalkyl iodide and a monoethylenic compound of the formula: CHR.sub.1 ═CR.sub.2 y in the presence of a finely divided zinc powder and an acidic solvent consisting of an organic, inorganic acid, or a mixture thereof with an organic solvent, at a temperature of from 20° to 100° C., and separating the fluorinated product from the reaction medium.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
A process for the preparation of fluorinated products having the formula: R.sub.F --CHR.sub.1 --CHR.sub.2 --y in which (a) R F represents a straight or branched perfluorinated chain C n F 2n+1 , with n being a whole number between 1 and 20; (b) y is selected from the hydroxy, carboxy, nitrile, halogen, ##STR9## thiol, thiocyanate, carbethoxy, acetoxy, CONH 2 , hydroxymethyl and acetoxymethyl groups; and (c) R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are y, a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, or alkylphenyl radical; consisting essentially of reacting a perfluoroalkyl iodide and a monoethylenic compound of the formula: CHR.sub.1 ═CR.sub.2 y in the presence of a finely divided zinc powder and an acidic solvent consisting of an organic, inorganic acid, or a mixture thereof with an organic solvent, at a temperature of from 20° to 100° C., and separating the fluorinated product from the reaction medium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 1 wherein zinc is activated either by action of a strong inorganic acid or by formation of alloys with sodium, lead, mercury or copper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 2 wherein activated zinc is a Zn/Cu pair.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1, 2, or 3, in which zinc is used in an amount of from 5% to 50% in excess of the stoichiometric amount based on the perfluoroalkyl iodide.
