Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A dehydrochlorination process is disclosed. The process involves contacting R f CHClCH 2 Cl with a chromium oxyfluoride catalyst in a reaction zone to produce a product mixture comprising R f CCl═CH 2 , wherein R f is a perfluorinated alkyl group.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A dehydrochlorination process comprising contacting R f CHClCH 2 Cl with a dehydrochlorination catalyst in a reaction zone to produce a product mixture comprising R f CCl═CH 2 , wherein R f is a perfluorination alkyl group and wherein the dehydrochlorination catalyst is chromium oxyfluoride having the formula Cr 2 O x F y , wherein x+y/2=3, optionally in the presence of HF. 2. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 1 wherein the dehydrochlorination process is conducted in the presence of HF. 3. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 1 wherein R f is CF 3 . 4. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 1 wherein the temperature in the reaction zone is from about 200° C. to about 500° C. 5. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 4 wherein the temperature in the reaction zone is from about 275° C. to about 450° C. 6. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 1 wherein the product selectivity to R f CCl═CH 2 is at least 90 mole %. 7. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 1 wherein the product selectivity to R f CCl═CH 2 is at least 95 mole %. 8. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 1 wherein an inert gas is additionally present. 9. The dehydrochlorination process according to claim 2 wherein the mole ratio of HF to R f CHClCH 2 Cl in the reaction zone is no more than 0.9. 10. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 9 conducted in the presence of HF, wherein the mole ratio of HF to R f CHClCH 2 Cl in the reaction zone is no more than 0.5. 11. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 10 wherein the mole ratio of HF to R f CHClCH 2 Cl in the reaction zone is no more than 0.1. 12. The dehydrochlorination process of claim 1 wherein the dehydrochlorination process is conducted in the absence of HF. 13. The dehydrochlorination process according to claim 1 wherein the chromium oxyfluoride catalyst has a surface area of about 10 m 2 /g to about 800 m 2 /g. 14. The dehydrochlorination process according to claim 13 wherein the chromium oxyfluoride catalyst has a surface area of about 20 m 2 /g to about 400 m 2 /g. 15. The dehydrochlorination process according to claim 14 wherein the chromium oxyfluoride catalyst has a surface area of about 40 m 2 /g to about 300 m 2 /g.
