Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Azeotropic or azeotrope-like mixtures of 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Such compositions are useful as a feed stock or intermediate in the production of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa), 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd), and 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting of 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition consists of from about 1 to about 99 wt. % hydrogen fluoride (HF) and from about 1 to about 99 wt. % 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231 zd), based on the combined weight of the hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd). 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition consists of from about 2 to about 99 wt. % hydrogen fluoride (HF) and from about 1 to about 98 wt. % 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd), based on the combined weight of the hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd). 4. Composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition consists of from about 2 to about 80 wt. % hydrogen fluoride (HF) and from about 20 to about 98 wt. % 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd), based on the combined weight of the hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd). 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has a boiling point of about −10° C.±0.5° C. at a pressure of about 10 psia±2 psia. 6. A method of forming an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition comprising forming a blend consisting of from about 1 to about 99 wt. % hydrogen fluoride (HF) and from about 1 to about 99 wt. % 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd), based on the combined weight of the hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd). 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said forming step comprises forming a blend consisting of from about 2 to about 99 wt. % hydrogen fluoride (HF) and from about 1 to about 98 wt. % 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd), based on the combined weight of the hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd). 8. The method of claim 6 , wherein said forming step comprises forming a blend consisting of from about 2 to about 80 wt. % hydrogen fluoride (HF) and from about 20 to about 98 wt. % 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd), based on the combined weight of the hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd). 9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the composition has a boiling point of about −10° C.±0.5° C. at a pressure of about 10 psia±2 psia. 10. A method for fluorinating an organic compound comprising: providing an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting of 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) and hydrogen fluoride (HF); and reacting at least a portion of said 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) in the vapor phase with a fluorinating agent to produce at least one fluorinated organic compound. 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein said reacting step further comprises reacting at least a portion of said 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) in the vapor phase with a fluorinating agent to produce 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd). 12. The method of claim 10 , wherein said reacting step further comprises reacting at least a portion of said 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) in the vapor phase with a fluorinating agent to produce 1,1,1,3,3,-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa). 13. The method of claim 10 , wherein said reacting step further comprises reacting at least a portion of said 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) in the vapor phase with a fluorinating agent to produce 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze).
