Gas-Liquid Fluorination of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane and Methane with Elemental Fluorine in a Perfluorinated Liquid

Аннотация

The reaction of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane with fluorine in a gas-liquid reactor with a high-speed stirrer and with perfluorodecalin or perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane as a liquid phase occurs as hydrogen substitution without noticeable cleavage of C-C bonds, yielding penta- and hexafluoroethane. The fluorination of methane in perfluorodecalin under the same conditions yields, depending on the methane and fluorine concentrations in their mixtures with an inert gas, products of successive hydrogen substitution by fluorine when the reaction occurs in approximately isothermal mode and products corresponding to the thermodynamic equilibrium when the reaction occurs in the mode of gas-phase diffusion combustion on the gas bubble scale.
