A method for preparing atetrafluoro-1,2-epoxypropane comprising reacting a 2-bromo-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol with an alkaline or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution, a compound which is 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,2-epoxypropane, and partially fluorinated polyethers of formula [OCRR1CR2R3]n wherein n is from 5 to 100, R is F or H, R1 is CF3, R2 is F or H and R3 is H.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing a tetrafluoro-1,2-epoxypropane comprising reacting 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane or 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane with sulphuric acid in an aqueous solution to provide a 2-bromo-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol wherein the 2-bromo-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol is selected from the group consisting of 2-bromo-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol, 2-bromo-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol, and combination thereof, and reacting the 2-bromo-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol with an alkaline or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution to provide a tetrafluoro-1,2-epoxypropane. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising reacting 1234yf or 1234ze with N-bromosuccinimide in a solution of acetic acid and sulphuric acid to provide the 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane or 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane. 3. A method for preparing a 2-bromo-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol comprising reacting 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane or 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane with sulphuric acid in an aqueous solution to provide a 2-bromo-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol wherein the 2-bromo-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol is selected from the group consisting of 2-bromo-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropan-3-ol, 2-bromo-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane-3-ol, and combination thereof. 4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising reacting 1234yf or 1234ze with N-bromosuccinimide in a solution of acetic acid and sulphuric acid to provide the 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane or 3-acetoxy-2-bromo-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane.
