Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is a method for 2-fluorobutane to obtain highly purified 2-fluorobutane through a process comprising a step for: bringing crude 2-fluorobutane that includes 5 to 50 wt % of butene into contact with a brominating agent that can form a bromonium ion in an aprotic polar solvent in the presence of water or an alcohol having up to 4 carbon atoms; converting the butene into compounds having a boiling point higher than that of 2-fluorobutane, then recovering 2-fluorbutane from the reaction solution; and purifying the recovered 2-fluorabutane by distillation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A conversion method comprising bringing crude 2-fluorobutane that includes 5 to 50 wt % of butene into contact with a brominating agent that can form a bromonium ion in an aprotic polar solvent in the presence of water or an alcohol having up to 4 carbon atoms to convert the butene into compounds having a boiling point higher than that of 2-fluorobutane. 2 . The conversion method according to claim 1 , wherein the brominating agent is N-bromosuccinimide. 3 . The conversion method according to claim 1 , wherein the aprotic polar solvent has a boiling point higher than that of 2-fluorobutane by 30° C. or more. 4 . A method for purifying 2-fluorobutane comprising converting the butene into compounds having a boiling point higher than that of 2-fluorobutane using the conversion method according to claim 1 , collecting 2-fluorobutane from a reaction mixture, and purifying the collected 2-fluorobutane by distillation. 5 . The method for purifying 2-fluorobutane according to claim 4 , wherein the collecting of 2-fluorobutane from the reaction mixture includes collecting 2-fluorobutane under a reduced pressure of 10 to 70 kPa.
