[0060] Preparation of hydrofluoroether compounds

[0061] The hydrofluoroether compounds (HFE) of the present invention can be prepared by alkylation of fluorine-containing alkoxides via fluorine-containing ketones (more specifically, having: (a) branched fluoroalkyl groups) A carbonyl or perfluoroalkylcarbonyl end group, and (b) an intervening linear or branched perfluoroalkylene segment of the fluorinated diketone, the branched fluoroalkylcarbonyl or perfluoroalkylcarbonyl The end group optionally comprises at least one catenary heteroatom selected from a divalent ether oxygen atom and a trivalent nitrogen atom) with anhydrous alkali metal fluoride (such as potassium fluoride or cesium fluoride) or anhydrous silver fluoride ( It is preferably prepared by reacting in an anhydrous polar aprotic solvent). Preferably, the perfluoroalkylene segment has two or three catenary atoms. See, for example, the preparations described in French Patent Publication No. 2,287,432 and Germ...

[0142] Objects and advantages of this invention are further illustrated by the following examples, but the particular materials and amounts thereof recited in these examples, as well as other conditions and details, should not be construed to unduly limit this invention. These examples are illustrative only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims.

[0143] All parts, percentages, ratios, etc. in the examples, as well as in the remainder of the specification, are by weight unless otherwise indicated. Solvents and other reagents used were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company, St. Louis, Missouri unless otherwise indicated.

[0144] In the following examples, a diastereomeric mixture is obtained due to the presence of two (or more) optical centers in the molecule. These diastereomers have boiling points very close to each other and therefore diastereomers cannot be separated by distillation. In some cases, however, such diastereomers are readily separ...

[0179] A 500 mL round bottom flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, heating mantle, thermocouple temperature controller, nitrogen bubbler, and condenser was charged with 32.3 g (0.56 mol) of spray-dried potassium fluoride, 104 g of anhydrous Glyme, 12.7 g (0.014 mol) Adogen TM 464 phase transfer catalyst, 89.1 grams (0.58 moles) of diethyl sulfate and 220 grams (0.445 moles) of 98.3% purity dodecafluoro-2,7-trifluoromethyl-3,6-octanedione. The flask was maintained at 54°C for 16 hours and then allowed to cool down. After cooling to 25°C, 50 grams (0.40 moles) of aqueous potassium hydroxide ((45% in water) and 75 grams of water were added to the flask. The resulting solution was heated to 80°C and maintained for 4 hours, and the resulting solution was separated by steam distillation. The obtained crude product was washed twice...

Abstract

A hydrofluoroether compound comprises at least one five- or six-membered, perfluorinated heterocyclic ring, each ring comprising four or five ring carbon atoms and one or two catenated heteroatoms selected from divalent ether oxygen atoms and trivalent nitrogen atoms, at least one of the catenated heteroatoms being a divalent ether oxygen atom, and each of the ring carbon atoms adjacent to the divalent ether oxygen atom bearing a fluorochemical group that comprises a tetrafluoroethylidene moiety (-(CF3)CF-) that is directly bonded to the ring carbon atom, the fluorochemical group optionally comprising at least one catenated heteroatom selected from divalent ether oxygen atoms and trivalent nitrogen atoms.

Description

[0001] priority statement [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 747,742, filed May 19, 2006, and US Patent Application No. 11 / 567,602, filed December 6, 2006, which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] This invention relates to partially fluorinated ether compounds. In other aspects, the present invention also relates to methods for preparing partially fluorinated ether compounds and methods of using them. Background technique [0004] Hydrofluoroethers (HFEs) comprise a class of commercially available compounds. Hydrofluoroethers have found use as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in numerous applications. CFCs are currently unpopular and regulated due to their belief that they have adverse effects on the environment. Unlike CFCs, hydrofluoroether compounds containing fluorine as the only halogen basically do not affect the Earth's ozone layer. This HFE compound is therefore said to exhibit an...
