Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing halogenated carbonates is provided, the method having the steps of reacting a halogenated hydroxyl moiety with an alkyl formate in the presence of a liquid solvent and a solid base. An exemplary halogenated carbonate so produced is trifluoroethyl methyl carbonate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The embodiment of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed is defined as follows: 1. A method for producing halogenated carbonates, the method comprising: reacting a halogenated hydroxyl moiety with methyl chloroformate in the presence of a nonhalogenated compound selected from the group consisting of acetone, diethyl ketone, ethyl methyl ketone, acetophenone, cyclohexyl methyl ketone and combinations thereof, and a solid base, wherein the solid base is an inorganic compound selected from the group consisting of alkali carbonate, alkaline earth carbonate, alkali phosphate, alkaline earth phosphate, and combinations thereof. 2. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the halogenated hydroxyl moiety is a fluorinated alcohol. 3. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the reaction occurs in ambient atmosphere. 4. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the halogenated carbonates are produced in about 1 to about 4 hours. 5. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the halogenated carbonates are produced at temperatures between about −10° C. and about 20° C. 6. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the halogenated carbonate is trifluoroethyl methyl carbonate. 7. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the nonhalogenated compound is acetone and the base is potassium carbonate. 8. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the halogenated hydroxyl moiety is trifluoroethanol. 9. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein the halogenated carbonates are produced having greater than 99.5 percent purity after a single filtration step. 10. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein no aqueous wash is required. 11. The method as recited in claim 1 wherein between 50 and 95 percent of the solid base remains a solid during the reaction.
